Mikaël CUGNET

Dr. Hab.​

​ ​​

Senior Expert​

Mikaël Cugnet earned his master's degree in 2004 and his PhD in automation in 2008 from the University of Bordeaux. He was granted his accreditation to supervise research (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches, or HDR) in 2020 in electrochemistry at Grenoble Alpes University. His PhD research, conducted from 2005 to 2008 on the Integration of aging into the management of a lead-acid automotive battery, was funded by PSA Peugeot Citroën and supervised by Alain Oustaloup and Jean-Marie Tarascon. From 2008 to 2010, he completed a postdoctorate, supervised by Bor Yann Liaw, at the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute.

In 2010, he began his tenure as a research engineer at the CEA, where, as a battery specialist, he was tasked with setting up and managing research projects with academic and industrial partners. He earned the titles of CEA Expert in 2017 and CEA Senior Expert in 2023. He also won a gold medal at the Alstom I Nove You™ Awards in 2020.

He has been a member of the Electrochemical Society since 2008 and an expert for the European Commission since 2016.
