Armand FOPAH LELE

VILLEURBANNE CEDEX

En résumé

I hold a PhD (Magna Cum Laude) from the Leuphana University Lüneburg (Germany) in Sustainable Energy and Environment and qualified as energetic and process engineering associate in France. Engineer specialized in Environment, experienced in energy storage systems. I have deep knowledge in renewable energies, energy storage, environmental resources management, and sustainable development through the RSE process. I spent almost two and half year in a renewable engineering school for African capacities empowering. I participated in the European project "Thermische Batterie" to develop a storing technology from cogeneration waste heat for 70% improvement. I also lead the planning and management of Water and Energy Resources of the Sandougou Basin in Senegal for model validation and capitalization work. I have also advising on waste-to-energy programmes for Lagos State Government (Nigeria) and some municipalities in Ghana.
Excellent at multitasking and working under pressure, I have multidisciplinary skills for the purpose of team-oriented and result-driven.

Specialties: International cooperation, Renewable energy, Energy storage technologies, Negoce, Budget management, Environmental resources management, Sustainable development.
