I am a CNRS research scientist at the Centre des matériaux, MINES ParisTech, where I specialize in the computational and physical aspects of contact and friction at both macroscopic and microscopic levels. My theoretical research relies on boundary element and finite element methods. My academic interests are broad, encompassing a diverse array of physical phenomena, from detailed atomistic descriptions to the vast structural expanses of the Universe, but the focus is on micromechanical contact. At Ecole des Mines de Paris, I teach the continuum mechanics, the finite element method, contact mechanics, computational contact mechanics, and the multiscale mechanics of materials.
