Head of R&D

Resilio

Louise Aubet is head of R&D at Resilio. With a Master's degree from EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in computational sciences with a focus on environmental sciences, Louise has extensive technical knowledge of digital systems. As part of Resilio, she has managed several LCA projects for various digital services (telecoms network, cloud services, website, etc.). Louise is also coordinating the development of ResilioDB, Resilio's new dynamic environmental impact database and has been involved in writing the reference framework for assessing the environmental impact of an information system.  Resilio specialises in LCA methodology applied to digital products and services. The missions we carry out and the tools we develop all use this methodology. Our ResilioTech tool is designed to make it easier to carry out LCAs of digital services. In addition, ResilioDB, the dynamic database we are developing, is based on the LCA methodology and the 16 environmental indicators recommended by the European PEF methodology.
