Paul Sapin

Paul Sapin is a Researcher in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London's Faculty of Engineering. He leads the Energy division of the Clean Energy Processes (CEP) Laboratory, focusing on thermo-mechanical energy technologies including waste-heat recovery, heat decarbonisation, and long-duration energy storage. His work integrates experimental prototyping with physics-based and data-driven modeling.

Education: MEng in Mechanical/Thermal Engineering (ISAE-ENSMA, 2010); PhD in Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer (National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse, 2014).

Research emphasizes innovative solutions for energy systems, such as organic Rankine cycles, heat pumps, and thermal electricity storage. His experimental facilities specialize in convective boiling heat transfer in porous media.
