Boegli Alexis

Boegli Alexis is an Associate Professor at Haute Ecole Arc - Ingénierie (HES-SO) since 2018, with a PhD in Science from the University of Neuchâtel. Specializing in embedded systems, RF technologies, and energy-efficient electronics, he focuses on applications requiring high constraints such as energy autonomy and compactness. His research spans BLE-based localization, dielectric elastomer actuators, and energy harvesting for biomedical devices.

His educational background includes a BSC in Computer Science and Communication Systems from HES-SO and advanced studies in Microengineering at EPFL. He teaches courses like Electrotechnics I and co-supervises doctoral students in interdisciplinary projects.

Key research areas include:

• RF Localization Systems (BLE AoA/AoD)
• High-Voltage Electronics for Capacitive Actuators
• Zero-Power Wearable Energy Harvesting
• Smart Sensor Networks

Recent work demonstrates sub-meter accuracy in IoT localization systems using BLE and developed ultra-high-voltage (7kV) converters for dielectric elastomer actuators. His 2025 research explores inverted actuation cycles for facial prosthetics, reducing energy consumption by 1.5%.

Patents include a BLE-based access control system combining RF positioning and video analysis (2022) and a real-time regulatory compliance method for wireless transmitters (2013).

Collaboration with EPFL and CSEM drives technology transfer in industrial and biomedical applications. His projects often involve Innosuisse, SNSF, and industry partners.
