Profile

Elie Lefeuvre is a professor at Université Paris-Saclay, France. He is leading research activities at the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N), a joint research unit of CNRS and Université Paris-Saclay hosting around 420-450 people, including +200 scientific and technical permanent staff.

From 2001 to 2007, he was an Associate Professor with the National Institute for Applied Sciences of Lyon, France, where he conducted research on piezoelectric sensors and actuators, energy harvesting, vibration control, and structural health monitoring for aerospace applications. In 2007, he was hired by Université Paris-Saclay (formerly named Université Paris-Sud), and he oriented his research activity in the field of MEMS. He currently heads the energy harvesting research group of C2N. Since 2019, he has been the Deputy Head of the “Excellence Lab of Engineering and Systems” of Paris-Saclay.

Elie’s present research fields of interests include implanted sensors, biomechanical energy harvesting, wireless power transfer, piezoelectric and electrostatic MEMS transducers, and interface electronic circuits. He has participated as institute PI or as project leader in a great many (18) research projects at international, European and national scale. Over the last years, he has actively developed scientific collaborations with Koc University (Turkey), NTU en NTHU (Taiwan), Sogang University and KETI (Korea). 

He is the co-author of +160 research papers in peer reviewed journals and conference proceedings. He holds 25 patents on physical sensors, energy harvesting and interface circuits. Google Scholar attributes to him a h-index of 32, +3000 citations over the last 5 years, and +6600 citations in total.
