Opening invisible paths to reveal sustainable energy
About Me
As an engineer specialized in thermodynamics and sustainable refrigeration, I believe that innovation thrives in an atmosphere of respect, attentive listening, and collaboration. My vision is to design sustainable and high-performing solutions while fostering open communication, trust, and teamwork. Convinced that every project is an opportunity for collective learning, I am committed to creating an environment where ideas flow freely, enabling creativity and expertise to be transformed into tangible and responsible outcomes.
One day, someone told me:
"Julien, tu vois, chaque jour on use notre corps sur les chantiers… Toi, tu es destiné à autre chose."
This sentence left a mark on me; it became the starting point of a new path.

Nothing is impossible : a journey fueled by conviction
An article was written about my story: « Julien Chabanon : D’un BEP plomberie à un doctorat en génie des procédés : l’histoire d’un parcours hors du commun » Haumont, S. (January 21, 2025). « Les rencontres de la RPF avec … Julien Chabanon ». La RPF. This article illustrates well my journey, from my first teenage dream to my current ambitions.
At 14, I wanted to become a plumber. I achieved this dream with pride by obtaining my BEP plumbing diploma. But over the years, I felt the need to go further. Step by step, I continued my studies: Bac Pro energy, BTS refrigeration, then an engineering degree in energy, obtained through distance learning while working full-time in research and development.
This engineering degree is, for me, a symbol: one of perseverance, passion, and the belief that nothing is impossible when you dedicate yourself to achieving it.
I also had the opportunity to start a PhD in process engineering, an exciting scientific adventure. Even though I couldn’t complete this thesis, this journey is not a failure: it strengthened my knowledge, enriched my experience, and confirmed that my true success lies in the path I’ve taken and the person I have become.
"There are no mistakes, only opportunities to learn differently."
My story is above all that of a man who has always chosen to move forward, learn, and build his future.
And as I often say:
“It’s not the degree that makes the person, but the person who makes the degree.”
Today, more than ever, this phrase takes on its full meaning.

On Friday, September 27, I had the pleasure of sharing my journey with around forty high school students from Castres.
It was a morning full of exchanges, curiosity, and inspiration!
My goal during this meeting was to convey a message of hope: anything is possible.
These young people represent the craftsmen, technicians, engineers, and researchers of tomorrow, and encouraging them to believe in their abilities is, for me, a true source of motivation.

Innovating for a more sustainable future
Specialized in thermodynamics and refrigeration, I turn technical challenges into concrete, environmentally friendly solutions. Combining expertise, teaching skills, and team spirit, I approach each project with rigor… and care, to advance sustainable innovation together.
