Benjamin Blat Belmonte studied Mechanical Engineering at Technical University of Darmstadt and Politecnico di Torino. In addition to classical engineering topics in the automotive domain, he specialized early on in energy systems, innovation management, and climate-oriented optimization approaches.

During his research activities at the former Institute of Mechatronic Systems (now IRM), he focused in particular on the modeling and optimization of electrified vehicle fleets and their integration into higher-level energy systems. A key focus was on the cost- and emission-optimized transformation of vehicle fleets, as well as on the planning and control of charging infrastructure.

He is the founder of Fenexity, a spin-off from the academic environment that specializes in intelligent energy and charging management for electric commercial vehicle fleets. With Fenexity, he develops software solutions for optimizing charging processes, integrating vehicle fleets into energy markets, and leveraging flexibility potentials in the context of sector coupling.

His work combines methodological approaches from system modeling, optimization, and software engineering with practical applications in the energy industry and the transportation sector.
