Maud Rio is an Associate Professor at Grenoble Alps University G-SCOP Laboratory, part of the CoSYS Team. She completed her Ph.D. in 2012 after graduating in mechanical design engineering and sustainable development in 2009 from the UTT (France). Her research includes developing models and designing methods based on the approach of integrated design to boost the environmental performance of products and processes in line with emerging technologies, leading to new forms of consumption and production. She is actively involved in European research projects and national research projects, in the field of design for sustainable circularity, and co-supervises PhD students. Being involved in researcher communities in sustainability, she co-founded the Technical Comity "Sustainability" in the scientific communities SAGIP and GDR MACS. In charge of planning, developing and supporting the sustainability and ecodesign teaching at the mechanical and manufacturing department of the IUT1 of Grenoble, she also drives research projects in the field of integrating absolute sustainability thinking into academia.
Jean-Christophe Crébier received his Ph.D. degree in power electronics, EMC for PFC converters, from INP Grenoble, Grenoble, France, in 1999. Since 2001, he has been with the Grenoble Electrical Engineering Laboratory (G2ELab)--National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), Grenoble, as a
full-time researcher. From 2012 to 2017, he served as a Scientific Advisor at the Micro-Electronic and Electrical Engineering Departments, Grenoble-INP, France. From 2013 to 2019, he was the Head of CMP, a support facility for IC and MEMS prototyping, dedicated to the industrial and academic research community. He is currently a CNRS Senior Scientist in the field of integrated power electronics, focusing his efforts on modular converters for lifespan extension, components and sub-systems reuse, and the circular economy. The applications of his work are related to the design and implementation of multicell distributed conversion systems such as power converter arrays.
