Date of Birth: 21st July 1974
Work experience
Ascometal, CREAS, 2006-, Section manager of the metallurgy research group in Ascometal's research centre.
TWI, 2005-2006, Project Leader: steel and welds performance in sour environment, welding metallurgy, etc
University of Cambridge, 2002-2004, Research Assistant in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, project funded by Innogy Plc.
Education
University of Cambridge, 1998-2002, PhD student in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, project funded by Innogy Plc. and supervised by Pr. H.K.D.H Bhadeshia, F.R.S.
EUDIL (Ecole Universitaire D'ingénieurs de Lille, France), 1995-1998. Diplôme d'ingénieur (equivalent of an M.Phil.), specialisation in materials science, best student.
USTL (Université des sciences et technologies de Lille), 1997-1998 D.E.A (Diplôme d' Etudes Approfondies) (in parallel with above degree), in solid state physics, best student.
Research projects
Post-doctoral project: multicomponent, multiphase modelling of microstructural evolution in the vicinity of TBC (thermal barrier coating) in superalloys gas turbine blades.
PhD project: physical modelling of precipitation sequences in austenitic stainless steels, accounting for multiphase, multicomponent effects; neural network modelling of mechanical properties. The project also includes the experimental study of aged NF709 (TEM, SEM, etc...)
Austempered Ductile Iron (6 months project): experimental study of the bainite formation in ADI.
Plasticity of garnets (6 months project): influence of Ca on the plasticity of garnet, study of dislocations (LACBED) in samples deformed using a diamond anvil cell.
Teaching
I have been involved in teaching since the beginning of my PhD in the department, where I have demonstrated to Part IB students for three years, and supervised Part IA students for two years.
I have also demonstrated for the MPhil modelling course (use of MT-DATA for thermodynamic calculations and neural network modelling), and participated in the supervision of a Part III team project, and a MPhil team project.
Awards
Best student each year, and overall, for my two degrees in materials science and solid state physics.
Institute of Materials prize for my literature review, subsequently published.
