Jean-Marie Fuerbringer

Dr. Jean-Marie Fuerbringer is a Lecturer and Scientific Assistant at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), affiliated with the School of Basic Sciences and the Section of Physics. He also collaborates with the SCI STI FM Group at EPFL Valais Wallis and contributes to teaching at UNIL’s College of Sciences. His roles span academic instruction, scientific collaboration, and pedagogical management.

• PhD in Sensitivity Analysis of Numerical Simulation Models, EPFL (1992)
• Engineer in Physics, EPFL (1987)
• Visiting Researcher, NIST, USA (1995–1997)
• Visiting Professor, Catholic University of Lima, Peru (1997–2001)

His research centers on Design of Experiments (DOE), skills and competence management, and building physics, particularly air exchange and simulation validation. He has contributed significantly to university pedagogy and industrial training systems. His work bridges engineering, education, and applied statistics.

His publications from 1990 to 2017 reflect a trajectory from building energy modeling and sensitivity analysis to educational diagnostics and industrial competence systems. Key themes include experimental design, simulation confidence, airflow modeling, and fuzzy logic in skills assessment. The research spans civil, mechanical, and environmental engineering, with strong applications in pedagogy and organizational management.

While no formal scientific awards are listed, his long-standing contributions to EPFL’s academic and administrative structures, including leadership roles in mechanical engineering and doctoral education, reflect institutional recognition.

Dr. Fuerbringer has taught courses on experimental design, physics education, and modeling. He has collaborated with researchers and students across disciplines, though no formal PhD advisees are listed. His work in project management at the Laboratory of Production Management and Processes (LGPP) involved skills development and pedagogical innovation. He has also contributed to online learning platforms and proactive competence management systems.

He is actively involved in research and teaching, with affiliations to the Section of Physics and the SCI STI FM Group, focusing on experimental methodologies and their applications in both academia and industry.
