Pierre BREQUIGNY obtained his mechanical engineering degree at INSA Rouen in 2011. He defended his PhD. in december 2014 with the following “Fuel influence on combustion in Spark-Ignition Engine- Flame Stretch Impact”. During that period, he carried an experimental study using various devices: combustion vessels, optical and metallic engines. After that he was hired as a postdoc to work on the samee topic on the numerical side at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
Pierre BREQUIGNY is now an associate professor, working at University of Orléans since september 2015.
He is teaching for engineering student at Polytech Orleans in thermodynamics basics, aircraft and rocket propulsion, and lab sessions on engine test benches.
He is researcher in PRISME Laboratory in the Energy, Combustion, Engine group. His research focuses on the combustion properties of conventionnal fuels and new energy carrierr for internal combustion engines.
- Conventional fuels in high pressure, temperature, diluted conditions to provide experimental data for the development of new models using combustion vessel
- New Energy carriers, biofuels, e-fuels to study their fundamental properties and their use in energy converters
