Christophe Ménézo is a Full Professor and Director of the LOCIE UMR CNRS 5271 Laboratory (processes, energy, building), Deputy Director for Scientific Activities at the Solar Academy Graduate School (USMB/CNRS/CEA), and Scientific Director of the CITEE Chair (Chair for Cross-Border Innovations in Scientific Efficiency) at the Université Savoie Mont Blanc, jointly with the HES hepia and the University of Geneva. He also heads the CNRS research federation on solar energy (FedEsol FRCNRS 3344), and he is the leader of the Intelligent Buildings and Cities theme in the SINERGIE CNRS/CEA/NTU Singapore network. His current research is conducted at the Institut National de l'Energie Solaire (INES) and focuses on the integration of solar components from the building to the city. His research focuses on the design of building envelopes that collect solar energy (photovoltaic components and photovoltaic/thermal hybrids), notably through bio-inspired approaches and at the city scale (solar cadastre, solar production potential at the urban territory scale), particularly in the Greater Geneva
area. In 2019, he co-created the start-up HelioCity, which focuses on monitoring the performance of urban solar power plants. He can be contacted through email at [email protected].
