Biography

Franck Guarnieri is a researcher specializing in industrial safety, risk management, and organizational resilience. His work focuses primarily on complex socio-technical systems, particularly in the nuclear, energy, and industrial sectors. He explores decision-making dynamics in extreme situations, as evidenced by his analyses of the Fukushima Daiichi accidents, in which he highlights the mechanisms of individual and collective resilience in the face of crises that go beyond established frameworks. His research also addresses issues related to training, knowledge transfer, and human and organizational factors in risk prevention, drawing on systemic approaches such as the STAMP (Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes) model and the theory of ago-antagonist systems. Franck Guarnieri thus contributes to rethinking risk assessment and management methods by integrating temporal, ethical, and contextual dimensions to address the challenges posed by industrial developments, such as those driven by Industry 5.0.

Teaching

General Engineering Professions (MIG)

2020 – en cours Course Director

A MIG is a personalized, project-based learning program that brings together a group of 12 or 14 students, guided by the School’s faculty members, to explore a complex problem in its various dimensions—including, of course, scientific and technical aspects, but also cross-disciplinary aspects (socioeconomics, management, law, the environment, etc., depending on the field being studied). Ten different topics are offered. They all reflect current research themes being developed by the School’s centers and industry. The challenges students will tackle through these 10 projects address major issues facing the industry of the future and society: From Energy Resource Transformation to Management, Data Science and Innovative Applications, Raw Material Extraction and Environmental Impact, Design and Materials for Aerospace and Automotive, and Medical and Hospital Care Engineering Each MIG topic is addressed through complementary and interlinked activities during an intensive three-week period: - company visits, lectures, and classes - a period of experimentation and/or modeling at a research center or in a company, in the form of mini-projects carried out in small groups. In addition, each group of students collectively summarizes the work completed in the form of a written report and an oral presentation before a panel of industry professionals. This presentation will allow you to better understand all aspects of the topic and to deepen your teamwork skills.
