Peo­ple

We welcome Simon Lepot

Our Cen­ter has a new af­fil­i­at­ed re­searcher: Si­mon Lep­ot is join­ing us as Se­nior Re­search Fel­low. Si­mon is an aca­d­e­m­ic physi­cist by train­ing. He has a strong knowl­edge in math­e­mat­i­cal mod­el­ling, nu­mer­i­cal sim­u­la­tion, and data analy­sis. His train­ing fo­cused on sta­tis­ti­cal physics and its math­e­mat­i­cal and nu­mer­i­cal tools, ap­plied to flu­id me­chan­ics. He grad­u­at­ed at Uni­ver­sité Paris-Saclay.

His role at the Kühne Cen­ter for Sus­tain­able Trade and Lo­gis­tics in­volves the de­vel­op­ment and im­ple­men­ta­tion of a “Sus­tain­able Glob­al­iza­tion In­dex” mea­sur­ing the dis­crep­an­cy be­tween cur­rent trade flows, and a glob­al trade sys­tem that would in­ter­nal­ize the car­bon cost of pro­duc­tion and trans­porta­tion.

We warm­ly wel­come him to the Kühne Cen­ter!
