Dr. Hab.
Frédéric Ducros earned a PhD in engineering from INPG Grenoble. He then joined the European Center for Research and Advanced Training in Scientific Computing in Toulouse, where he stayed from 1996 to 2001. This experience allowed him to develop his knowledge of turbulence modeling.
In 2001, he joined the CEA's nuclear division, where he held several research and management positions. In 2014, he started at CEA-Liten's exchanger and reactor laboratory, which he now heads.
He shifted his research focus to the circular carbon economy in 2021, helping to shape and structure this activity. Since 2023, he has broadened his scope to include topics like energy storage, fuel cells, cycles, and heat exchangers from a thermohydraulic modeling perspective.

CEA‑Liten has joined the EnergyGuard Testing & Experimentation Facility (TEF) to advance trustworthy artificial intelligence across the entire European energy value chain. Backed by Horizon Europe, EnergyGuard integrates five large‑scale laboratories and Meluxina—Europe's greenest high‑performance computer—into a single service. The result is a one‑stop shop where start‑ups, established SMEs and research groups can develop, test and certify AI tools under real‑world conditions without the real‑world risk.
Over time, this innovation could completely eliminate the need for transformers operating at 50 Hz, as photovoltaic sources and other renewable energies could be connected directly to the distribution network via this innovative power electronics.
