I joined on September 1st the Solids & Structures (MISES) team of the ∂’Alembert Institute, at the Sorbonne Université in Paris. I’ll be working on multi-scale modeling of friction between rough surfaces. I’m looking forward to exploring this topic with future colleagues, and to bring my rough surface and contact expertise to their research projects, while contributing to free and open-source software for scientific computing, and promoting open-data and open-access science!

I will also be teaching in the Bachelor and Master mechanical engineering curriculum at la Sorbonne, and the mechanical engineering major of the engineering school Polytech' Sorbonne.
