Lucie Merlier, has been awarded the 2025 Young Researcher Prize, presented by the Métropole de Lyon and the City of Lyon, in partnership with the Université de Lyon community (ComUE). 

Their paper, entitled “Assessment of Three Deep Reinforcement Learning Algorithms for District Heating Network Optimal Control”, demonstrates how the optimization problem of district heating network control can be reformulated as a policy learning task, by coupling an autonomous agent with a digital twin of the network.

He took this opportunity to strengthen existing collaborations with Chinese universities.

This acknowledges exceptional commitment to research and teaching in thermal and climate engineering.
