Keynote Speakers

Frederic Michard | Thales Alenia Space

Dr. Frederic Michard is a Thermal Expert at Thales Alenia Space (FR) a global space manufacturer delivering, high-tech solutions for telecommunications, navigation, Earth Observation, environmental management, exploration, science and orbital infrastructures. With more than 30 years dedicated to thermal engineering for space products, he had a major contribution to the design of new generation of antennas, payload electronic units, instruments and subsystems. In charge of R&D activity, he was particularly involved into the development, validation and qualification of innovative thermal control technologies dedicated to space applications such as composite material and mini two-phase fluidic components (Exchangers, Heat Pipe, Fluid loops…) in the frame of CNES or ESA projects.

Jerome Hélie | Vitesco

Jerome Hélie has a master of fundamental science on Modeling in Mechanic, Sorbonne Univ. and a Master of applied science in propulsion from SUPAERO. He did his PhD in IFPen on fluid dynamic, turbulence and multiphysic. He his author of a hundred of publications.

Jerome began his carreer on Formula1 project for Siemens. He continued with R&D advanced developments to reduce pollutants and CO2 emissions of combustion engines, where he had management positions for Continental Automotive. He was also Project Leader for a neural network function development.

He is taking care for five years of the Thema of cooling of powerlectronic for various projects, including air cooled, liquid cooled plateform and OEMs applications, as senior expert.

Frédéric Marchetto | Airbus
