Energy and infrastructure

These societal issues call for both technological and service innovations: simulation and optimization tools to accelerate the deployment of renewables, robust and interoperable system architectures to support scaling-up, and anticipation of evolving uses and user experiences.

Our research activities

• Planning and Optimization: Developing tools and conducting studies to anticipate supply-demand dynamics and optimize renewable energy integration.
• Systemic Transition Analysis: Designing tool-based methods to support infrastructure evolution and maximize system resilience.
• Circular Economy: Developing holistic models to map value chains and maximize recyclability.
