Projects & Grants

(!!! NEW) - EU Horizon Clean Hydrogen JU - PEPPIRE (focusing on PEM electrolyzer performance and lifetime improvement) - PI

Intro: The project will last 4 years from the beginning of 2026. Together with EU leading researchers and industries, we aim to overcome the major technical barriers of the PEM electrolyzer technology. 

(!!! NEW) - ANR PRC 2025 - Clarifying degradation causes in PEM water electrolyzers via multiscale Heterogeneity characterizations (Multi-Hero) - PI

Intro: The project will last 3,5 years from the beginning of November 2025. Combining the expertise in FEMTO-ST and LCPME, we will investigate multiple MEA characterization tools to investigate the interconnections between multiscale heterogeneity and performance degradation of PEM electrolyzers. 

2024: Laureate of Jeunes Talents France-Chine: The funding allowed me to realize a research stay in Huairou national lab, one of the sixteen national labs in China. 

2024-2027 - EIPHI BFC - Amélioration du DIAgnostic de l'état de santé des électrolyseurs à travers des mesures MAGnétiques (DIAMAG) - co-PI

Intro: In this project, together with my colleague Stefan GIURGEA, and the other team members, we are going to design of magnetic field  measurement based sensors dedicated to electrolyzer real-time diagnosis.
