Dr. Hab.
Gérard Delette graduated from engineering school École Centrale de Lyon in 1991. He is currently a Senior Expert in materials at CEA-Liten, where he focuses on powder metallurgy processes applied to a range of applications, including nuclear materials, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), and soft and hard magnetic compounds.
In his role as Scientific Director of the New Materials Technology Department at CEA-Liten, he drives the organization's advanced materials research strategy. He is co-author of 55 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals and co-inventor of 17 patents.
He has also made significant contributions to technology transfer initiatives, including the Magnolia project to lay the groundwork for a magnet manufacturing industry.
- Rare earth permanent magnets for electric machines;
- Soft magnetic components for power electronics.
After two years of collaboration, the European CACTUS project is coming to a close, leaving behind a major scientific and methodological legacy for the solar photovoltaic sector: diagnostic tools, reference datasets, and innovative approaches for evaluating the performance and resilience of photovoltaic systems. The work has also resulted in strategic recommendations for policymakers, compiled in a Policy Brief, to support the sustainable and reliable deployment of photovoltaics on a global scale.
As part of its mission to develop more sustainable industrial solutions, CEA-Liten is leading research to reduce the environmental impact of polymers, with a team of around twenty researchers focusing on two key areas: recycling existing materials and designing polymers with a lower ecological footprint. This article presents its research findings on polyurethanes, otherwise known as PUs.
