A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure d’Agronomie de Nancy, Daphné Lorne joined IFPEN in 2006 as a research engineer working on the roll-out of biofuel supply chains within the Economic Studies Department. She went on to develop several forward-looking modelling tools applied to the field of bioenergy and its role in energy systems at various scales. She coordinated the bioenergy programme group within the ANCRE alliance, with which she produced several thematic roadmaps for research stakeholders. She has helped supervise several PhD students and is regularly invited to sit on thesis examination boards and scientific advisory committees. She currently coordinates an ADEME GRAINE research project, contributes to several PEPR B-BEST projects and to an annual training programme for PEPR PhD students. She is the scientific lead for the framework agreement between IFPEN and INRAE and also contributes to the work of the Biomass GIS in collaboration with ADEME, IGN, INRAE and FranceAgriMer.
