Summary
Charles-alexis Asselineau is a Ramon y Cajal Fellow and applied energy researcher with 13 years of experience advancing Concentrated Solar Thermal technologies for dispatchable, low-carbon heat, power and solar fuels. He combines deep analytical and numerical skills in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and optics with hands-on expertise in scientific ray-tracing, CFD and optimisation (including black-box, stochastic and multi-objective methods) to design and optimise high‑temperature CSP systems. His work spans lab-to-field projects and process design, from nano-structured thermo-photonic surfaces to full-system storage and receiver engineering, and has informed industrial collaborations and novel receiver designs. Multilingual and internationally trained (PhD ANU, MS Mines Paris), he uniquely blends modelling rigor with practical CAD and process-simulation experience, enabling measurable cost and performance gains in CSP deployments.
