Annuaire des chercheurs et enseignants-chercheurs de Centrale Lille
Full professor at Centrale Lille Institut and researcher at UMET (CNRS UMR 8207), my research lies at the interface of mechanics and materials science, combining experimental investigation, multiscale characterisation, and computational modelling. The overarching objective is to establish links between microstructural mechanisms and macroscopic material response under complex thermomechanical and environmental conditions.
My research background encompasses computational mechanics, thermomechanics of polymer composites, and the mechanical behaviour of metallic and composite materials. Following my PhD at the University of Montpellier, I pursued research at the CNRS and the University of Nottingham, developing expertise in experimental mechanics, constitutive modelling, and multiscale analysis.
Current research activities address emerging challenges in hydrogen embrittlement, high-entropy alloys, additive manufacturing, dissimilar material joining, and shape memory alloys. These studies combine advanced experimental techniques with physics-based modelling and numerical simulation, with the aim of developing predictive tools for the design, assessment, and lifetime prediction of advanced engineering materials and components.
