He then spent more twelve years in industrial energy research centers in Canada and in Switzerland. Since 1988 he is professor at EPFL and director of the Laboratory for industrial energy systems. Since 2001 he is also director of the Institute of Energy Sciences, which groups nine chairs covering both thermo-fluid sciences and electricity. His research includes systemic analyses in what is called environomics (a contraction of energy, environment and economics). He also contributes to the design of advanced equipment for a more rational use of energy (heat pumps and organic Rankine cycles, fuel cells and biogas engines, thermal power plants including geothermal and solar. Within the frame of the Alliance for Global Sustainability between the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology, MIT and the University of Tokyo, he contributed to several projects among which the elaboration of a design platform accounting for sustainable development. Prof Favrat is a member of the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences and the vice-president of the standing energy committee of the World Federation of Engineering Organisations. He is associate editor of several well established scientific journals.
