Research topics
His research activities are currently focused on heat and mass transport phenomena occurring in energy system with a special attention to PEM fuel cells. He has contributed to develop diagnostic techniques for the precise detection of PEMFC state-of-health based on multi-physics modeling and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. Gas/liquid flows in porous media have also been of great interest as their better understanding and control may significantly contribute to PEMFC performances improvements.
Activities / Resume
Bruno AUVITY is a full professor at the Graduate School of Engineering of the University of Nantes (Polytech Nantes) since 2013. He is currently the Head of the Graduate Studies (Directeur de la Formation) since March 2019. He has served as Head of the Thermal and Energy Sciences Department of Polytech Nantes from 2014 till 2019. In 2009-2010, he was invited professor at CNR-ITAE (Messina, Italie) funded by a Marie-Curie IEF grant (#235386 - FP7-People).
In 2019, he was the General Chairman of FDFC 2019 (8th International Conference on Fundamentals and Development of Fuel Cells) that was held in the Nantes Event Center and hosted 200 participants. He served as guest editor in 2012 for a special issue in International Journal of Hydrogen Energy published in August 2013 related to EMHyTeC 2012. He was Member of the International Scientific Committee of the conference EMHyTeC 2014 in Taormina (Italy) in December 2014. He is member of the International Scientific Committee of the conference series HYPOTHESIS (XII in Siracuse (Italy) in 2017, XIII in Syngapore in 2018, XIV in Fos do Iguacu (Brazil) in 2019 and XV in Cape Town ( South Africa) in 2020)
Pr. Bruno AUVITY is the authors of 30 publications in internal scientific journal and 55 communications in conferences and proceedings. He is the author and co-authors of 30 final contracts reports.
