• Physics (thermodynamics, quantum physics)
• History of physics (history of astronomy and astrophysics...)
• Systemic (holistic approaches, qualitative and quantitative modelling of complex systems)
• Mathematical modelling of dynamical systems with deterministic approaches, probability, stochastic processes (in uncertain contexts)
• Reliability / Availability analysis and assessment of technological systems (Fault trees and Binary Decision Diagrams, Petri nets modelling and Monte Carlo simulation) taking into account maintenance policy
• Risk / vulnerability analysis and resilience analysis of sociotechnical systems

Detailed research fields:

• Optimization and modelling of maintenance in complex technological systems (multi-states, degradations, dependancies) and multi-criteria approaches based on: mixed deterministic-probabilistic (stochastic processes)-fuzzy approaches and mixed quantitative-qualitative assessments, Monte Carlo simulation ;
• Reliability and availability optimization of technological systems in dynamical contexts and environmental impacts assessment taking into account uncertainties ;
• Risk, vulnerability and global security analysis / assessment of sociotechnical systems ;
• Resilience analysis and assessment of sociotechnical systems (simulation, Systemic approaches and qualitative-quantitative analysis / modelling).

Recent research interests:
Socio-technico-ecological systems resilience analysis 
Thermodynamics and information theory for sustainability analysis of socio-technico-ecological systems and the socioecological transitions
