Marie Duquesne

Marie Duquesne is a Teacher-Researcher affiliated with the University of La Rochelle, working within the E2 - BVD research team. Her research bridges thermal science and sustainable engineering, with a focus on optimizing energy efficiency in buildings and electronics through advanced materials.

Research Interests: Dr. Duquesne's work centers on three interconnected pillars:

• Thermal Energy Storage: Developing latent heat systems using phase-change materials (PCMs) for seasonal energy conservation.
• Phase Change Materials: Innovating bio-based and shape-stabilized PCMs for eco-friendly applications.
• Eco-Responsible Building: Designing sustainable construction materials (e.g., hemp concrete composites) to enhance hygrothermal performance and reduce carbon footprints.

Publication Trends: Her recent articles (2021–2025) emphasize experimental and computational approaches to thermal management. Key themes include infrared thermography for material analysis, numerical modeling of building envelopes, and bio-sourced PCMs. Collaborative works frequently address electronics cooling, passive energy storage, and hazard reduction in consumer products.

Affiliations & Collaboration: She actively collaborates with multidisciplinary teams (e.g., materials scientists, building physicists) and contributes to projects involving carbon foams, metal alloys, and electronic device safety. The E2 - BVD team facilitates applied research in energy-efficient technologies.
