The Laloui Group has contributed to the development of a battery prototype powered by clay, water, and graphene that will eventually offer sustainable power in places as extreme as Mars.
The Laloui Group’s Dr Dimitrios Terzis wins this year’s prestigious Rodolphe and Renée Haenny Prize.
Prof. Laloui presents our latest research at EPFL’s ENAC Research Day 2024. View the video here.
“Here at the Laloui Group, our experimental and modelling expertise allows us to explore the mechanical properties of the ground beneath our feet. Our aim is to ensure a safe and sustainable future for us all by addressing the challenges of climate change, global energy demand, sustainable urban design and construction and safe and environmentally friendly waste disposal systems, through the development of unique analytical tools and innovative technologies.” -Professor Lyesse Laloui, Director |
Our research activities
Achieving sustainable and resilient communities and the environment has become one of the global challenges of the 21st century. It requires energy security for a growing population, a sustainable food supply, and resilience to natural hazards and extreme events. Securing the future for the next generations relies on our capability to mitigate global warming, access to renewable and efficient energy resources, and building resilience to natural hazards and extreme events.
