Jose Halloy

Dr, Université Paris Cité

José Halloy is a physicist and co-founder of the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire des Énergies de Demain (LIED CNRS UMR8236) in 2013. Since 2011, he has been developing interdisciplinary research, including social sciences, within an “Earth system” frame of reference intended to build a systemic thinking of sustainability. For example, the energy transition is often perceived as a problem of renewable energy production without considering the material basis of this production. On the other hand, the analysis of socio-technical systems is still often decoupled from their overall energy and material consumption. Furthermore, he also works on globalization and the sustainability of agriculture.
