Bertrand CARISSIMO

Bertrand CariSSIMO is a Lecturer at École des Ponts ParisTech (ENPC), affiliated with the Center for Teaching and Research in Atmospheric Environment (CEREA), a joint lab with EDF R&D. His research focuses on micro-meteorological measurements and numerical modeling for urban climate applications, including pollution dispersion around industrial sites and wind farms. He holds an Engineer degree from the School of Hydraulics, Grenoble; a PhD from Princeton University; and a HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches).

Key research interests include: urban climate dynamics, pollutant dispersion in complex environments, CFD modeling for atmospheric flows, and radiative/convective thermal exchanges in urban settings. His work integrates advanced numerical methods, such as time-staggered schemes for variable density flows, and employs tools like Code_Saturne and MUNICH street network models.

Recent studies highlight innovations in parameterizing tree effects in street canyons, low-wind dispersion mechanisms, and thermal modeling of city centers. His interdisciplinary approach combines technical modeling with participatory urban quality assessments.
