Houssam Kharouji, doctorant sous ma co-direction, présentera une partie de son travail de thèse au colloque Plasticité 2023 à Lyon , le lundi 3 avril : "Vers un transfert discret-continu de la description des défauts cristallins".
I am gald to announce that our new article "Tailoring the Plasticity of Topologically Close-Packed Phases via the Crystals’ Fundamental Building Blocks" is now published in Advanced Materials in open access. This work is the result of a large collaboration led by RWTH Aachen (DE), involving the MPIe (DE), the Pprime institute (FR) and myself.
I am most proud to have been awarded the Jean Morlet prize by the SF2M (Société Française de Métallurgie et de Matériaux) and Aperam. This prize is the recognition of my work on the modeling of the behavior of metallic materials towards the design of property-by-design innovative alloys. I would like to thanks all my collaborators around de world that have contributed to this achievment.

I am glad to welcomeI Joé PETRAZOLLER in my group as PhD student. He will work on the atomistic simulation and micromechanical modeling of chemo-mechanical couplings in the presence of crystal defects under the supervision of Thiebaud RICHETON, Stéphane BERBENNI and myself. We are very gratefull to the support of the Université de Lorraine and the French Ministry of Research.
In combination with the DFG (German research fundation), the ANR (French national research agency) announced the support of our project SILA devoted to the study of Segregation at Interfaces in Lightweight Alloys towards tailored mechanical properties. This bi-lateral germano-french research project will support the collaboration between our teams at the LEM3 in Metz, and the IMM reasearch institute at the RWTH in Aachen.
