Nicolas ZIV is an Engineer and an Urban Planner; he has a PhD from Université Paris-Est and Ecole Spéciale des Travaux Publics. He has more than 7 years of experience in the major transport infrastructures and in academic research. His Phd concerns the adaptation of methods from other industries, like Systems Engineering, to the construction sector to better manage complexity of large infrastructure projects.Nicolas also has a field experience at different stages of development of a transport infrastructure, in France and internationally: from the planning stage (metro network of Madina in Saudi-Arabia, extension of the metro line B of Lyon, France), in the design phase (line 16 of the Greater Paris project), and in the construction phase (line 3 phase 3 of the Cairo metro). In combination with its urban planning and engineering studies, it gives him a comprehensive understanding of the challenges to develop transport infrastructures at different scales.Simultaneously, Nicolas was involved in very diversified innovative subjects, he developed a new concept of multifunctional metro infrastructure during his PhD, which allows answering several technical city needs with a unique solution: not only transport people but also energy, information, materials, goods, sewage or water and many mode depending on the specific needs of each project.Since 2021, Nicolas is Chief of Operation at Resallience, he oversees the development of the activity of Resallience in new markets and is responsible of diverse vulnerability studies in transport and energy projects (climate resilience analysis of the Tours <-> Bordeaux high speed rail line and of the development of an innovative solution to monitor risks of wildfires in a high voltage line in Corsica). Curious and passionate, Nicolas long term goal is to develop new infrastructure concepts with more value for people and their environment.
