Félicie Théron is an active Associate Professor at IMT Atlantique's Department of Energy Systems and Environment, where she has been conducting research since 2011. She is affiliated with the GEPEA research unit, specifically within the Ecotechnologies research area, and is part of Jack Legrand's research laboratory. Her academic journey began with Chemical Engineering studies at INP Lorraine, followed by a doctorate in Process Engineering from INP Toulouse completed in 2009. Professor Théron's research focuses on the complex interactions between airflow dynamics and particulate matter in ventilation systems. Her work bridges environmental engineering and fluid mechanics with practical applications for improving air filtration technologies and indoor air quality. She specializes in studying particle resuspension from duct walls during transient airflow conditions, particularly during fan acceleration phases that represent real-world system startups. Her research methodology combines sophisticated experimental techniques with computational modeling. She employs hot-wire anemometry for precise flow measurements, develops advanced image analysis protocols for tracking particle behavior, and utilizes computational fluid dynamics to simulate complex airflow patterns. Her publications reveal a consistent research trajectory with increasing sophistication in both experimental design and theoretical modeling. Professor Théron has developed innovative approaches for characterizing fibrous media properties, including permeability prediction models that account for bimodal fiber distributions and the Klinkenberg effect. Her recent work extends into smart filtration technologies, with research on electrospun sensory membranes for real-time detection of HVAC filter clogging. This progression demonstrates her ability to translate fundamental research into practical engineering applications that address energy efficiency concerns in building systems. Her publication record shows consistent productivity with 31 documented publications spanning from 2009 to 2025. The research topics evolve from fundamental fluid dynamics and process engineering toward increasingly specialized applications in environmental engineering and air quality control. Her work maintains strong connections to both theoretical modeling and practical implementation, with particular attention to transient phenomena that are often overlooked in traditional HVAC system design. Professor Théron collaborates extensively with researchers across multiple French institutions, particularly within the GEPEA research unit. Her work demonstrates the integration of multiple disciplines including fluid mechanics, materials science, environmental engineering, and sensor technology to address complex problems in air quality management and energy-efficient ventilation systems.
