Laboratoire Plasma et Conversion d’Energie (Laboratory Plasma and Energy Conversion)
It was born on the 01/01/2007 from the merge of CPAT (Center Plasmas and their applications Toulouse), the LE (Laboratory for Energy), the GETA (Engineering Laboratory Electric Toulouse) and LEEI (Electrotechnical Laboratory and Industrial Electronics) in ENSEEIHT. The LAPLACE is in close collaboration with CNRS UPS and ENSEEIHT. His research weave a “continuum of activities that includes production, transportation, management, conversion and use of electricity” covering all aspects from materials research to the development process and systems.
