LNCMI Grenoble.

Published on May 9, 2019.

After a Master’s degree in chemistry and materials science at the University of Evry Val d’Essonne near Paris, I had the opportunity to do a PhD in materials science co-supervised by the Materials and Processes Science and Engineering Laboratory (SIMaP) in Grenoble and the Multi-Scale Additive Manufacturing Lab (MSAM) at the University of Waterloo (Canada). During my PhD work, I have aimed at finding the key parameters to adapt the microstructure of a MgCa alloy in the frame of biodegradable implants. It is from this experience that I have acquired a taste for microstructural engineering to provide macro properties to a metal.
I joined the LNCMI team at the beginning of 2017 in order to participate in the R&D of the materials for the resistive magnets. I am in contact with industrial partners and academic collaborators for experiments and characterizations. The goal is to find the proper metallurgy to enhance the properties of the materials in view of their application. Thus, the  evers range from the choice of the alloy to the thermomechanical treatments to be applied during the manufacturing steps. I am also interested in the monitoring and the modeling of the resistive parts of the magnets.
Working at the LNCMI is particularly enriching due to the international dimension of the environment and the multidisciplinary of the people who all have their own background. I also like the stimulation that is leading us to overcome the challenges that we encounter, all of this being made in order to provide high-performance and userfriendly installations for scientific research.
Thank you for your time! And see you soon!
