My research activities deal with the manufacturing processes field (Research Institute for Science and Material Engineering), and particularly forming of metals, composites and ceramics. My historical activity concerns machining by the removal of chips with developments at the mesoscopic scale (finite element modelling of the area of the chip formation). Additive Manufacturing and hybrid manufacturing (combination of several processes, additive and/or soustractive, in the same machine) are included in my current activities as well. From a general point of view, my activities combine experimental studies and development of numerical models and their experimental validation. These research activities are carried out in collaboration with research and teaching assistants and contract researchers appointed on research projects (I currently co-supervise a European project on composites and stacks machining, and two regional projects on Additive Manufacturing).
