Bridget Gile is a civil and environmental engineering PhD student and Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford University. She graduated from Villanova University in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. Bridget aspires to contribute innovative, data-driven solutions to address critical water resources challenges. In her graduate work, she studies "one water" management strategies, including water reuse and stormwater capture, that contribute to sustainable, drought-resistant urban water supply. She finds that water powerfully illustrates the interconnectedness of sustainability...Read more
Maxime Trocmé is director of R&D deployment within the scope of the VINCI contracting branch.
He works in particular on the digitization of construction sites, 3D printing of concrete, the energy efficiency of buildings and urban biodiversity.
These projects are developed internally or are based on open innovation partnerships (with start-ups, research centers, SMEs, etc.).
He is also the pilot of the environmental research lab, a scientific partnership between VINCI and ParisTech. Numerous tools for assessing the environmental impact of projects result...Read more
