Dr. Aurelien Neveu research activities mainly focus on the understanding of granular materials and powders at different scales. During his PhD he has developed discrete numerical models to describe fragmentation mechanics of cohesive granular materials by taking into account the complex micro-properties of the grains. He then moved to a larger scale to study segregation in gravity-driven rapid flows as well as aeolian transport of granular materials, with huge implications on natural disasters. He is now the head of laboratory and applications at Granutools, performing research on powder characterization with numerous applications in pharmaceutical industries and additive manufacturing.
