Yelva Roustan

Yelva Roustan is a Lecturer at CEREA (joint laboratory between École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées and EDF R&D) since 2005, specializing in air quality modeling. Her research focuses on multiscale modeling approaches, source-concentration relationships, and pollutant deposition processes. She teaches at the National School of Bridges and Roads, sharing knowledge from her research in atmospheric transport and environmental science.

Her work addresses urban pollution challenges, including the impact of low-emission vehicles on air quality, urban tree effects, and pollutant dynamics in street networks. She has developed the MUNICH street-network model and contributed to projects like EURODELTA for multi-pollutant analysis across Europe. Her methods integrate data assimilation, inverse modeling, and Bayesian techniques to improve emission source reconstruction and model accuracy.

Key contributions include studies on radioactive release scenarios (e.g., Fukushima, 106Ru event) and urban infrastructure impacts on pollution. Her research bridges atmospheric science with engineering solutions for sustainable urban environments.

She holds a PhD in Environmental Engineering from École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (2005) and an HDR in Numerical Modeling of Atmospheric Pollutants (2020).
