CHADEBEC Olivier

I am CNRS Research Director (Directeur de Recherche CNRS) at G2Elab, the power electrical engineering research department of Université Grenoble Alpes at Grenoble in France. My research focuses on computational electromagnetics mainly applied to the field of electrical energy conversion. I develop numerical models, algorithms and simulation tools for the modelling and the analysis of electromagnetic devices.

I received the engineer and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Grenoble Institute of Technology in 1997 and 2001 respectively. After a post-doctorate in collaboration with Schneider Electric, I entered the CNRS in 2003 as Research Associate (Chargé de Recherche CNRS). I received the French "Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches" in 2011 and became Directeur de recherche in 2015. I was also research associate at the Technology Centre of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil) for one year in 2012.

I led the “Models, Methods and Methodologies Applied to Electrical Engineering” research team (MAGE group) and also the ERT-CMF (Low Magnetic Fields Technological Research Group)  withinG2Elabfrom2013to2025.  Since 2026, I have been deputy director of G2Elab.

I was also involved in the creation and direction of the former International Laboratory "James Clerk Maxwell" in collaboration with the University of Lyon and three Brazilian universities (UFSC, UFMG and USP).  In 2023, this LIA became the IRN (International Research Network) Maxwell.

I actively contribute to the development of the MIPSE platform which is commercialized by Siemens via Flux software.

My publications are available on HAL, an open archive developped by CNRS. See also my Scholar or ORCID profiles.
