After completing his first Master degree at Ecole Polytechnique, Cyril Crawford decided to specialize in Civil & Environmental Engineering at Imperial College London in 2019. When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, he volunteered to help in several AP-HP hospitals in Paris, where he led a research consortium on airborne contamination risks in an Intensive Care Unit (Bichat Hospital, Polytechnique & Dassault Systèmes). After graduating, he joined Dassault Systèmes in 2021 to continue working on numerical simulations and modelling to assess airborne contamination risks in healthcare settings, and helped launch the PRISMES collaborative project.
Sara Romano-Bertrand is an associate professor of microbiology and infection control at the University hospital of Montpellier, France. She is responsible of the microbiologic analysis of healthcare environment in at-risk hospital wards. She is also in charge of clinical and environmental investigations of healthcare-associated infections and outbreaks, and of the surveillance of environmental contamination during building works in hospital wards.
Her field of research is dedicated to hydric pathogens and associated bacterial communities in hospital water networks to better prevent patients from a contamination. Conversely to true bacterial pathogens that accord with the Koch’s postulate, the study of opportunistic infections including healthcare-associated infections, require to consider both opportunistic pathogens responsible for the infection, its natural reservoir and the microbial-associated communities. This intricate consideration of the opportunistic infection is based on the concept of the “pathobiome”, which integrates the complex interactions between microorganisms and considers opportunistic bacteria within its microbial community, within its hosts and its environment, in the pathologic context, in order to explain the occurrence of the infection.

Emmanuel has a Master degree in aerospace engineering from ISAE Supaero and joined EXA Corporation and then Dassault Systèmes as an Application Engineer specializing in fluid dynamics.
He had the opportunity to work on various projects including aerodynamics, aeroacoustics and thermal simulations for several industries such rail, industrial equipment and aerospace. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, he had initiated collaborations with hospitals and used his expertise in CFD simulations for particle propagation issues.
His work with French hospitals has been published in reference journals (Scientific Reports, AJRCCM, Environment International) and raised the influence on environmental parameters on both air and surface contaminations. He is now leading a 3 years collaborative project with APHP named PRISMES with the objective to create a numerical platform aimed at a better diagnostic and mitigation of airborne transmission risk within a hospital by combining virtual twin, simulation & awareness of healthcare workers.
