Benoit Stutz

Benoit Stutz is a Professor at Polytech Annecy Chambéry (University of Savoie Mont Blanc), serving as Deputy Director for corporate relations and research. He is a core researcher in LOCIE's STEP theme, focusing on advanced energy systems.

His research spans:

• Mass transfer in absorption machines (LiBr/H₂O, H₂O/NH₃)
• Plate/film heat exchanger development
• Geothermal energy systems and soil thermal dynamics
• Innovative thermal storage (phase-change, absorption, thermocline)

At Polytech Annecy Chambéry, he teaches Fluid Mechanics (hydraulics/turbomachinery), Heat Transfer (convective/phase-change), and Renewable Energies courses. His work integrates theoretical modeling with practical energy system design within LOCIE's environmental engineering framework.
