Dr. Hab.
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.
- Thermodynamic systems;
- Absorption cycle;
- Liquid-vapor phase change;
- Two-phase flows.
CEA and TNO have launched SOCRATES, a four-year collaboration to advance Solid Oxide Electrolysis for efficient syngas production by developing the next generation of co-electrolyzer technology. The project focuses on cell and stacks tuned for this application, and their integration into co-SOEL system designs to enable future pilot-plant implementation. By combining the expertise of both institutes, the partnership leverages complementarities, strengthens industrial ties and accelerates the deployment of co-electrolysis technologies.
Although not intended for this particular purpose, silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET transistors can be used to make exceptionally high performing high-voltage circuit switches. CEA-Liten researchers have foreseen many applications for these transistors, particularly in photovoltaics.
