Nicolas Roche was elected to the Académie des technologies in 2025, in recognition of more than 35 years' commitment to research into water and process engineering.
Professor at Aix-Marseille University and researcher at CEREGE and ITEM, he develops innovative processes for water and waste treatment, resource recovery and sustainable environmental management. His work combines experimentation, modelling and collaboration with the socio-economic world, and he actively contributes to the training of students and researchers.
He will officially join the new Academicians at a ceremony at the Sorbonne in March 2026.
