Antoine conducted his thesis at the LATMOS-IPSL. He defended his thesis on April 2025 about « Impact of long-distance transport of biomass fire plumes on regional pollution observed by satellite (IASI) ». He mainly works on Extreme Forest Fire and their emissions of greenhouse gases, gaseous pollutants and aerosols that contribute to radiative forcing and air pollution. In his thesis, he studied the impact of fires on atmospheric composition in the Northern hemisphere and its evolution over the last decades through satellite observations.

Hosted by LATMOS, LSCE and LMD at IPSL, its objective is to develop cutting-edge modelling tools to refine estimates of emissions from biomass combustion, simulate chemical processes and validate results with satellite and in situ observations. This work combines technical innovation—such as improving the APIFLAME and ORCHIDEE models and using real-time global emissions data—with collaborative training, promoting the transfer of these new tools and methods to the entire scientific community.

By improving emissions inventories, developing high-resolution daily datasets over two decades, and conducting advanced model intercomparisons, the project will produce open-access IPSL/COMPOSAIR tools to support researchers studying the cascading effects of megafires on air quality, climate, and ecosystems. Through publications and active participation in international conferences, the results will help guide future research and policy discussions related to large-scale fires.
