Hai Trieu PHAN

Dr. Hab.​

​

Senior Expert​

​

Research Director Hai Trieu Phan, who joined the CEA in 2017, develops thermodynamic technologies for industrial heating and cooling applications. 

He earned a PhD in fluid mechanics and energetics from Grenoble Alpes University in 2010. His dissertation won the AFM Paul Germain Award in 2011 and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Award in 2012.

From 2010 to 2011, he worked as a research engineer at the CNES in Toulouse, where he focused on the thermodynamic modeling of loop heat pipes, a type of cooling system used in space applications. 

He was employed by GE Renewable Energy (formerly Alstom Power) from 2011 to 2017, where he held positions as R&D engineer and principal engineer.

He has supervised several PhDs in the field of thermodynamic systems at the CEA.
