Bertrand BARBEDETTE

Bertrand Barbedette serves as a Teacher-Researcher at ESTACA (Higher School of Aeronautical and Automotive Construction Techniques) within the School of Secure and Embedded Transport Systems and ESTACA'Lab research department. His work bridges academic instruction and applied research in automotive engineering.

His research focuses on electric vehicle systems, hybrid energy storage (particularly battery-supercapacitor integration), and automotive mechatronics. Key contributions include developing sizing methodologies for human-powered hybrid vehicles, optimizing thermal management valves, and creating energy management strategies for electric drivetrains. His work demonstrates strong emphasis on

• Component pre-sizing under mass constraints
• Multiphysical modeling validation
• Real-world drive cycle analysis
• Embedded control system design

Barbedette teaches across multiple academic levels: 3rd year courses in systems modeling and mechanics; 4th year instruction in multiphysical modeling and VICOM (driving assistance functions); and 5th year practical work in mechatronics design. His publications reveal consistent focus on sustainable transportation solutions since 2009.

His technical leadership appears through ESTACA'Lab where he contributes to

• Electric vehicle drivetrain development
• Hybrid energy storage system optimization
• Automotive safety analysis frameworks
• Thermal management component design
