A specialist in intelligent control of complex systems, his works are accompanied by activities in the innovation ecosystem around promotion of research and transfer of technology to industry, SMEs, and start-ups, and divulgation of science.

He is known for his reflections, initiatives, and applications focused on the smart, sustainable, and sensitive city. Moreno has indicated that he drew his professional inspiration about "smart cities" from the American-Canadian urban planning critic and theorist Jane Jacobs, author of the 1961 classic The Death and Life of Great American Cities.[1] He is a contributor to media broadcasts and events supporting dissemination of this theme.

He was awarded the rank of Chevalier of the Order of the Legion of Honour in Paris in 2010.[2][3]

In 2020, Moreno was a prominent factor in a proposal by the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, for a "living smart city" initiative,[4] a concept that he advocates. Her plan, called the “ville du quart d’heure” – the quarter-hour city, was introduced as she campaigned for re-election.
