Simon Rouchier

Simon Rouchier is a Senior Lecturer at Université Savoie Mont-Blanc, affiliated with Polytech Annecy Chambéry engineering school and the LOCIE (Laboratory of Solar Energy and Architectural Physics) research laboratory. His academic position falls under CNU section 60, and he has been a faculty member at USMB since 2013.

Dr. Rouchier's research focuses on applying advanced statistical learning techniques to building energy performance problems. His work bridges thermodynamics, building physics, and data science to solve practical challenges in energy efficiency. Key research areas include statistical learning for building energy performance evaluation, Bayesian inference methods for parameter estimation, heat and moisture transfer modeling in building materials, and optimization of building retrofit solutions.

He is the principal developer of two significant open-source software packages: pySIP for stochastic state-space modeling and hamopy for heat, air and moisture transfer simulation. These tools demonstrate his commitment to making advanced modeling techniques accessible to the research and professional community.
