معرفی
Didier Haillot is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), where he directs the ÉDÉ Sustainable Energy Laboratory. His affiliations include research leadership roles in T3E Energy Technology Group, LTSB Thermal Sciences Laboratory, and CIRODD sustainability consortium. He holds a B.Eng. from Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble, M.Sc./Ph.D. from Université de Perpignan, and completed postdoctoral research at DLR Stuttgart.
Research interests center on sustainable energy systems with emphasis on:
- Thermal storage materials (phase-change composites, thermocline systems)
- Solar thermal technologies for agriculture and buildings
- Energy efficiency in Arctic infrastructure and industrial processes
- Decarbonization strategies for northern Indigenous communities
- Modeling of controlled-environment agriculture
Publication analysis reveals strong focus on renewable integration in extreme climates (15 recent papers: 2020-2025), with recurring themes in Arctic greenhouse design, off-grid energy storage, and thermal management of electronics. Experimental and numerical approaches dominate his methodology.
Awards include the 2025 Prix de la technologie la plus prometteuse for sustainable tech innovation. He actively mentors 30+ graduate students in projects ranging from thermal storage prototypes to Nunavik community greenhouses, frequently collaborating with industry partners. Laboratory resources include ÉTS's container farm testbed and thermal systems instrumentation facilities.
