Jérôme LAURENCIN

Dr. hab. , CEA Fellow​

Dr. Hab. Jérôme Laurencin is a research director at CEA, where he leads a research group on the modeling and characterizations of Solid Oxide Cells (SOC).

After a Master degree in material science and engineering, he obtained his Ph.D. from Grenoble Institute of Technology with a dissertation on the performance and durability of solid oxide fuel cells.

He received his habilitation in 2013 on the modeling of high temperature electrochemical devices. He is co-author of more than 100 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals and holds 7 patents.​

Research Activities​​

Jérôme Laurencin has been working on the field of Solid Oxide Cells (SOCs) for more than 20 years.

His research activities are related to the SOCs modelling coupled with advanced material characterizations. With his research group, he has adapted methods based on synchrotron X-ray radiation for the microstructural and physico-chemical characterizations and developed a multi-scale and multi-physic modeling framework, from the atomic scale up to the cell level, that accounts for the electrochemical and mechanical cell behavior.

His current research interests aim at understanding the complex relationships between the electrode microstructure and the fundamental properties of materials to optimize the cell durability and robustness of this high-temperature electrochemical device.​
