Timo Bouvard holds an engineering diploma (master's degree) in mechanical and energy engineering from Ense3 - Grenoble INP. After graduating in 2020, he joined the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) as a thermal-hydraulics research engineer in the CATHARE team. His activities mainly concern applications of CATHARE-3 to cryogenic fluids, in particular for hydrogen transportation and space propulsion. He is also involved in pump and turbomachinery modelling for nuclear reactors. From 2025 to 2028, he is pursuing a PhD on cryogenic hydrogen safety alongside his work as a research engineer.
