Kevin MICHENEAU

Kevin MICHENEAU is a Teacher-Researcher at CESI School of Engineering, affiliated with the LINEACT research laboratory in Guipavas, France. His work bridges building energy systems and experimental particle physics, focusing on data-driven optimization of smart buildings and dark matter detection.

Education:

• PhD in Subatomic Physics, University of Nantes (2018): "Study of residual electrons in the XENON100 experiment"
• Master's degree in Research in Subatomic Physics, University of Nantes (2014)

Research Focus: Dr. MICHENEAU develops advanced models for building energy performance with emphasis on occupancy behavior impact and smart control systems. His methodology combines sensor fusion and multi-objective optimization to balance energy efficiency with occupant comfort. Previously, he contributed to XENON dark matter experiments through signal reconstruction and background modeling.

Publication Evolution: His research trajectory shows a strategic pivot from particle physics (2017-2019) to building energy systems (2024), applying rigorous data analysis techniques across domains. The 2024 MPC optimization study demonstrates transferable methodology from high-precision physics to sustainable engineering.

Mentorship: Currently supervising PhD candidate BOURGOIN on "Towards modeling the impact of occupancy on the energy behavior of smart buildings" (2023-2026).

Research Ecosystem: Member of the "Engineering and Digital Tools" team within LINEACT, teaching Computer Science, Mechanics, and Physics across preparatory and engineering cycles while contributing to PhD training at University of Nantes.
