Summary
François Diaz-Maurin is an engineer with expertise in large-scale infrastructure projects in the
French and US nuclear industries. In the late 2010, he left the USA to join the Integrated
Assessment research group of the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA) of the
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and work with Prof. Mario Giampietro on the
application of MuSIASEM (Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Societal and Ecosystem Metabolism)
to energy supply issues. In October 2013, François completed his PhD thesis on assessing the
viability and desirability of nuclear power with a newly developed protocol to compare the quality
of different alternative energy sources. He is now Post-doctoral Researcher at ICTA-UAB.

Research Interests
Within the main topics of societal metabolism and energy transitions, my research deals with the
application of the MuSIASEM approach (Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Societal and Ecosystem
Metabolism) to the discussion over alternative energy sources. In particular, my PhD dissertation
focuses on assessing the viability and desirability of nuclear energy by developing a new protocol
to compare the quality of different alternative energy sources.
Keywords: alternative energy sources, biophysical economics, complex systems, energetics,
energy transitions, multi-scale integrated assessment, nuclear energy, post-normal science,
science for governance, societal metabolism, study of controversies.
