Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJérôme Kaempf is a Senior Research Scientist and entrepreneur with 10+ years applying physics, advanced computing and AI to urban energy and sustainability challenges from Lausanne. He leads Idiap’s Energy Informatics Group and founded kaemco to commercialize CitySim-based urban energy simulation, combining scientific rigor with product delivery and training. His background spans a PhD in Urban Physics, GPU- and OpenMP-accelerated simulation development, and teaching at EPFL and HES-SO, reflecting deep expertise in mathematical modeling, C++ and energy systems. Jérôme bridges academia and industry—co-designing tools used for district-scale energy planning while advising on renewables, storage and efficiency strategies. He’s as comfortable parallelizing simulation kernels as he is explaining results to city planners, and his profile reveals a rare blend of high-energy-physics training, software engineering and pedagogical skill.
