PEM electrolyser projects

PEMPIRE · Clean Hydrogen Partnership, 2026–2028. At Université Marie et Louis Pasteur, we study how component ageing affects cell performance and how accelerated tests can support lifetime prediction.

Multi-Hero · ANR PRC 2025, principal investigator. FEMTO-ST and LCPME combine local measurements of membrane electrode assemblies with long-term tests to explain why different parts of an electrolyser age at different rates.

DuraPEME · ANR PRC 2023, principal investigator. We use accelerated stress tests and physics-informed models to connect material degradation to electrolyser lifetime.

DIAMAG · EIPHI BFC, 2024–2027, co-principal investigator. With Stefan Giurgea and colleagues, I am developing magnetic sensors for non-intrusive, real-time electrolyser diagnosis.
