Henry DUFOURMANTELLE: Corporate Campus Management Director After obtaining a Law Master degree Henry DUFOURMANTELLE graduated from the HEC MBA (France). He then pursued his entire career in the Human Resources field within several global industrial firms. He mainly settled down in France but has spent 2 years in the US. He joined the AREVA group in 2000 to develop industrial relations in France then in Europe. Since 2004 Henry Dufourmantelle is the AREVA Corporate Campus Management Director. He is mainly in charge of developing scientific universities and Grandes Ecoles partnerships in France and throughout the world.

Dominique GRENECHE: Ast. Director technologies, Research & Innovatio Areva NC After Masters & Doctorate (equivalent of Ph. D) in physic of nuclear reactors (University of Paris, 1973), he joined French Atomic Energy Commission (Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique : CEA) from 1970 to 1998. Dominique GRENECHE was closely involved in R and D programs on High Temperature Reactors (HTR), carried out at CEA. In this framework, he has been sent by CEA to « General Atomic Company» as the correspondent of a cooperative agreement on HTR development. He moved to the French Safety and Radioprotection Institute (IPSN) in 1989 where he was appointed as Deputy Manager of the service in charge of safety evaluation for nuclear fuel cycle facilities. In 1991, he was named as chief of the service for safety evaluation of facilities for treatment, interim storage and disposal of nuclear waste. In 1995, he was promoted as the counselor for nuclear affairs of the «High Commissioner for Atomic Energy». In 1998, he became Assistant Director for International Science and Technology Development at the «Fuel and Recycling Division» of  AREVA NC. Dr Greneche is also Professor of reactor physics at the National Institute for Nuclear Sciences and Technologies and in other engineering schools

Infrastructure    IOSIS

Philippe BISCH, Philippe Bisch is a Civil engineer, graduate of the "Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées" in 1971. From 1976 onwards, he has been working with SECHAUD & METZ, Consulting Engineers, as Technical Director, and has been involved in large projects (bridges, motorways, industrial civil engineering, mainly in the nuclear industry, hydro-electric installations, etc.). Since the merge of OTH and SECHAUD & METZ under the name IOSIS, he is Scientific Director of the IOSIS group. Specialist of structural analysis, he has a large experience in teaching in several engineering schools. He is presently Professor in charge of "Structural mechanics", "Structural Dynamics and stability" and "Plates and Shells" courses at the "Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées", a major engineering school in France. He has been President of the “European Association for Earthquake Engineering”. He has been Vice-President of the CEN/TC250/SC8 (EUROCODE 8) and French Technical Contact. He was also involved in CEN/TC340 for the writing of a standard related to antiseismic devices. He is a member of the French Aseismic Construction Standards Committee (CN-PS) and of the governmental group (GEPP) related to seismic safety. At the occasion of his professional and educational activities, he has developed theories and calculation methods mainly in the field of structural dynamics and has therefore written many articles and books either in French and English languages.

Environment            FLUIDYN

Nicolas LAMORTE: Project Engineer Fluidyn Bangalore Nicolas did his B.Tech and masters  in Aerospace Engineering  from Ecole Centrale Paris, the best-known engineering school in France. He did finish at the top of his batch in Jan 2008  and then did something unusual. Nicolas decided to break ground and start his career in Fluidyn Bangalore. Nicolas is highly regarded for his dedication and technical excellence by his colleagues in France and in India. His pioneering effort will certainly motivate Indian industry & European students to come together in engineering R&D. As a result of this experience, Fluidyn has already decided to hire more European engineers for its Indian center besides Indian engineers for its European development center.

Sharad TRIPATHI: President of Fluidyn/ Transoft group After B.Tech(Aero) from IITK in 1969, Sharad did two masters in statistics and mechanics from Paris university. He also started working in 1970 as project engineer in National Space Centre of France and later since 1973 in Atomic Energy Commissariat ( CEA) of France till 1986. In 1987, Sharad started Transoft/Fluidyn group first in France then in India in 1989. Initially focusing on consultancy assignments, the group went on to develop several dedicated application software, especially in energy and environment. In 2005, Sharad and other IITians started Alumni association in Europe.
