Laboratory, Working on hydrogen economy and technology, energy storage, mechanical & thermal engineering, materials, and components...renewable energies in general.
Since 2020 as an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET) at the University of Buea, Cameroon. From 2016 to 2019 I've researched at the Laboratory of Innovative Processes for Sustainable Energy (PIE) of ESMER, Bénin. I had a furtive and relatively short stay at ENSTA-ParisTech in France. I spent a one-year lecturer/researcher stay at the Center of Energetic and Thermal Sciences of Lyon (CETHIL) of INSA-Lyon, France. I have been working from 2011 to 2014 in Germany, at the Innovation-Incubator Center for Sustainable Energy Research of the Leuphana University of Lueneburg, where I also defended my Ph.D. thesis in 2015. During that period, I worked together with great colleagues on the design and development of a heat recovery system (from cogeneration) to be applied in the building. Before that, I studied environment engineering (water resources management) at the Institute-2iE in Burkina Faso, in 2010. Debut in research started in 2008 at the Laboratory of Materials Science of the University of Yaoundé 1 in Cameroon, where I worked on alternative semiconductor materials applied to solar cells.
Head of Division Research, Innovation, and Business Relations at ESMER (Benin) from 2017 to 2019.
