Some of the projects I’ve been involved in
Governance and Strategic Management for Energy Transition Projects
As a board member of ENERGIRIS, Brussels’ first citizen cooperative investing in the energy transition, I contribute to ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks, strengthening communication strategies, and supporting impactful energy transition initiatives.
In collaboration with the board, my role involves:
🔹 Legal and Regulatory Compliance → Participating in the drafting of the revised company bylaws to align with the new Belgian Companies and Associations Code, ensuring legal conformity. Contributing to the writing of legally valid agreements with clients to secure transparent and reliable partnerships. Helping oversee the preparation of mandatory reports required for maintaining our cooperative status.
🔹 Communication & Public Awareness → Engaging in the management of social media, press relations, and initiatives to raise awareness about energy transition.
🔹 Financial & Business Case Analysis → Supporting the evaluation of projects’ economic viability, optimizing investment strategies, and contributing to informed decision-making.
🔹 IT Infrastructure & Website Management → Assisting in the development of digital tools that enhance operational efficiency and stakeholder engagement.
By combining strategic vision and citizen engagement, I help support private and public projects focused on sustainable energy solutions, ensuring local financing.
Data logging for a cogeneration plant
A combined heat and power plant operating with a natural gas combined cycle was equipped with an advanced data logging system to ensure optimal monitoring of its operation. The aim of this project was to monitor the performance of the installation in real time, optimise energy efficiency and prevent potential anomalies through in-depth data analysis.
Key parameters
🔹 Energy produced → Current/voltage sensor
🔹 Gas consumption → Thermal flow meter
🔹 Temperature & vapour pressure → Thermocouples, piezoelectric sensors
🔹 CO₂ & NOx emissions → Gas analysers
🔹 Vibrations & noise → Accelerometers, microphones
Data integration and visualisation
All data was integrated into a real-time monitoring platform, enabling:
✅ Dynamic display of measured parameters.
✅ Setting of alerts and efficiency thresholds.
✅ Historical analysis to optimise long-term operation.
✅ Proactive preventive maintenance management.
Optimization of a trajectory algorithm for an inspection robot in constrained environments
This is a placeholder tab content. It is important to have the necessary information in the block, but at this stage, it is just a placeholder to help you visualise how the content is displayed. Feel free to edit this with your actual content.
As part of improving the performance of an inspection robot operating in constrained pipeline environments, I contributed to optimizing its trajectory planning algorithm.
The goal was to enable the robot to automatically recognize and prioritize points of interest while efficiently navigating through narrow, complex, and degraded pipeline structures.
🔹 Data analysis and processing → Development of automatic recognition algorithms based on learning models and intelligent filtering of relevant points.
🔹 Energy efficiency improvement → Optimization of movements to minimize consumption and maximize the robot’s autonomy.
