Research Activities
His research activities focus on applied thermodynamics: Rankine cycle with organic fluid or steam, transcritical cycle, open and closed Brayton cycles for electricity production, heat pumps and refrigeration. The systems currently studied can integrate different processes and couplings: electricity-hydrogen cogeneration from a nuclear reactor, Carnot batteries for massive electricity storage, trithermal machines, etc.
