Geoffroy Lerosey

Bio

Geoffroy is the co-founder, CEO and Chief Scientist of the deeptech Greenerwave.
After graduating with an engineering degree from ESPCI Paris, Geoffroy obtained a Master’s degree in electronics at Université Paris 6 and a PhD in Physics at the Université Paris 7 under the supervision of Professor Mathias Fink, member of French academy of science. Then, he did a post-doctorate at University of California at Berkeley. Further, he joined academia where he spent 10 years as a CNRS researcher, working on electromagnetic wave control using new materials and algorithms. His research led to 140 publications, and more than 120 invitations to international conferences worldwide. He received the Lazare-Carnot Prize of the French academy of science in 2023.
In 2018, Geoffroy Left academia to take over Greenerwave and develop the next generation of electronically reconfigurable antennas for Satcom, Telco and Radar applications, that use much less semi-conductors and are at the same time cost-effective and very power efficient.
Geoffroy bootstrapped the company during 5 years, growing from 1 to 60 collaborators. Then he raised a 15me round in December 2023, in order to grow to a 120 people company that starts selling its first electronically steerable Satcom terminal for the Ku band in 2025.
