Etienne Wurtz

Etienne Wurtz serves as an Associate Researcher at LOCIE (Laboratory of Optimization of Design and Environmental Engineering), a prominent research unit of University of Savoie Mont Blanc focused on sustainable energy systems and environmental engineering. His work integrates experimental and computational approaches to advance clean energy technologies.

Research interests span critical domains in sustainability science:

• Renewable Energy generation and integration
• Building Physics for energy-efficient structures
• Solar Energy conversion systems
• Sustainable Development policy and implementation
• Energy Efficiency optimization in industrial processes

As part of LOCIE—a joint research unit (UMR 5271) with the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS)—Dr. Wurtz contributes to nationally funded projects including ANR (National Research Agency) initiatives. The laboratory maintains strong industry partnerships for applied research in thermodynamics and environmental engineering, with resources supporting experimental facilities for solar thermal systems and building energy modeling.
