Pace Loris

Loris Pace received hisEngineering degree in Electrical Engineering from INSA Strasbourg in 2016 and his PhD thesis in Electrical Engineering from the University of Lille in 2019. He is currently lecturer in Electrical Engineering attached to Centrale Lyon and the Ampère Laboratory. His teaching focuses on electrical energy, in particular power electronics, and hydrogen as an energy carrier.

Research projects

His research activities focus onhigh and very high frequency power electronics (from 1 MHz to several tens of MHz) with a view to reducing the volume and weight, modularity and environmental footprint of electrical energy conversion systems. He is currently a member of the Electrical Energy department of the Ampère laboratory, the PCB Working Group of the SEEDS GdR and the VHF Working Group of the PowerAlps CDP.

• Projet PCB2: Realization of a 1 kW 1 MHz inverter arm based on GaN components integrated in a PCB assembly. Funded by GdR SEEDS as part of the GT PCB. Project co-sponsor.
• GANRET project: Evaluation of the reliability of gallium nitride (GaN) power semiconductor technology. The main objective is to enable the insertion of GaN-based power electronics into (several sectors of) the electric mobility supply chain with a high reliability constraint. Supervision of a thesis in progress.

Training activities

He is responsible for the in-depth power electronics course in 2nd year. He also co-leads the WEEX Hydrogen theme week in 1st and 2nd year of the general engineering curriculum as well as the hydrogen course taught in 3rd year of the energy engineering curriculum. He is currently a board member of the EEA department at Centrale Lyon.
