Robyr Jean-Luc

Robyr Jean-Luc is an Associate Professor at the Fribourg School of Engineering and Architecture (HES-SO), University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland. His primary research focuses on non-destructive testing using ultrasonic guided waves in materials like monocrystalline silicon wafers, and energy systems optimization through genetic algorithms. He has collaborated extensively on projects such as defect detection in photovoltaic materials and multi-criteria energy management for smart buildings.

Key research interests include Lamb wave propagation in anisotropic materials, beam skewing effects, and the application of genetic algorithms for optimizing energy self-consumption, cost reduction, and ecological impact minimization in buildings. His work integrates real-time data, weather forecasts, and user habits into physical models for predictive energy strategies.

Major publications include studies on silicon wafer defect detection via high-frequency guided waves (2021), vertical motion modeling of gas balloons (2020), and genetic algorithm-driven energy optimization for buildings (2018). His research bridges mechanical/acoustic engineering with sustainable energy systems.
