Anne de Bortoli is a researcher at Polytechnique Montréal, in charge of the Carbon Neutrality Research division at CIRAIG - a specialized center focused on sustainability metrics and life cycle assessment. Her work centers on modeling and ensuring the reliability of pathways toward sustainable carbon neutrality, with a specific focus on the robustness of carbon footprinting, data quality, and burden-shifting between environmental and socio-economic impacts. Her studies employ various sustainability quantification methods, such as life cycle assessment (LCA) and economic and environmental input-output analyses, aiming to support actions for a rapid, sustainable, and desirable decarbonized transition.

With two master's degrees and a Ph.D. in civil engineering and sustainable planning, Dr. de Bortoli is also an associate researcher at the Laboratory for City, Mobility, and Transportation (LVMT) at École des Ponts ParisTech (ENPC) in France. She has over 10 years of experience in research and teaching in LCA, sustainable transportation, and infrastructure. Throughout her career, she has worked in the industry with the multinational corporation VINCI and at multiple academic institutions, including MIT, University of Patras in Greece, University of California, Berkeley, and National Taiwan University.

Dr. de Bortoli has received several international awards for her research, bestowed by organizations such as the OECD, the World Road Association (PIARC), and the VINCI Group. She is a member of the Canadian standardization mirror committee for greenhouse gas management and climate change and actively contributes to disseminating knowledge in favor of environmentally responsible behaviors through media and public events.
