Biography

I graduated with a Master’s degree in Mechanical and Materials Engineering from Université Savoie Mont Blanc in 2024. During my studies, I completed two experimental research internships, one in a university research laboratory and the other in an industrial research center. In October 2024, I started my PhD at the Institut de Recherche Dupuy de Lôme (IRDL) under the supervision of Cédric Doudard, Bruno Levieil, and Denis Carron. My doctoral research is dedicated to the development of efficient simulation approaches for wire-laser additive manufacturing, with a focus on predicting residual stresses and their impact on fatigue performance. The project combines numerical model development with experimental validation. As part of this research, I collaborate with two IRDL teams: DEMAT (Durability of Heterogeneous Structures and Materials) in Brest and METHA (High-Temperature Metals and Assembly) in Lorient
