From transportation to electricity production to energy consumption, our society is powered by the use of complex conversion devices. We are devoted to advancing the frontiers of science and engineering in order to improve the efficient use of natural resources, while minimising environmental impact of these systems, as well as developing renewable energy sources.

We are a community of students, engineers, scientists, and other professionals, selected from around the globe, with English as the working language, who are engaged in advancing state-​of-the-art research in the area of energy conversion.  Many active joint collaboration programs with leading industrial and academic institutions are maintained and fostered, allowing a broad view of the eventual application of our research. We are very active in many international conferences, allowing excellent networking opportunities for our students and staff.

LEC is a laboratory with staff, alumni and partners who come from five continents across the globe. The global composition of LEC’s team provides diverse backgrounds and experience that facilitate our broad outlook on the eventual application of our scientific and technological research.
