Scientific interests
- Ice mechanical behavior, multi-scale approach, from dislocation to polycrystal
- Characterization of deformation heterogeneities. Strain field measurements by Digital Image Correlation, lattice distortion via EBSD analyses.
- Recrystallization mechanisms, dynamic and post-dynamic.
- Modeling at various scales.
- Snow and firn microstructures and mechanical behavior.
- Measurements and modeling of texture evolution along deep ice cores.
- Formation and behavior of waterfall ice. Research project funded by the Petzl Foundation
