Leo Michel-Grosjean Email and Phone Number
French, grew up in Shanghai, studied in London and work across the world to help Tesla develop and scale Battery technology. I speak 4 languages and combine strong academic background with multi-culturality, practicality and an entrepreneurial mindset (2 start-ups) to get the utmost result from any project i engage in.Career-wise, i'm interested in two key areas:1. The development and innovation of sustainable energy systems, storage and manufacture to mitigate the impact of human urbanization on the ecosystem.2. The development of tools that support Humans achieve fulfillment and protect them from addiction and AI-driven cognitive atrophy.Academically, I'm a prized first class Imperial College Mechanical Engineer specialized in Energy Storage & Sustainable Energy Systems incl: Electrochemical devices, Photovoltaic, Wind Turbine, Nuclear, Carbon Capture & Sequestration, Smart Grid Systems with industrial experience in Battery Modelling, Experimental Characterization, Cell-Pack Design and Manufacturing Launch.
