- Laboratoire Navier (NAVIER UMR 8205)
Présentation
I am a researcher at Navier lab (Ecole des Ponts, Univ. Gustave Eiffel, CNRS) since 2012. I received my M.S. and Ph.D. from Ecole des Ponts ParisTech in 2008 and 2011. I am also engineer from Ecole Polytechnique (France) and from École des Ponts ParisTech (France). Since 2022, I have the HDR (habilitation to supervise PhDs). My research focuses on multi scale approaches for the study of the physics and mechanics of materials with emphasis on phenomena that have their origin at the molecular scale: adsorption and poromechanics, fracture mechanics and failure initiation, thermo-mechanical couplings, confined phase transition. Targeted applications are mostly in geomechanics: CO2 sequestration, nuclear waste storage, earth and bio-sourced construction, cementitious materials, fault stability, preservation of built heritage.
