Ph.D. received in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from École Polytechnique, Paris in 1999. From 1999 to 2000, Postdoctoral position at the LMT laboratory, Cachan. Joined Arts et Métiers ParisTech, Metz Campus in 2000, where working currently as a Professor at the LEM3 laboratory. From 2006 to 2008, worked as a CNRS full-time research associate at the LaMCoS laboratory of INSA-Lyon. Visiting Associate Professor at Eindhoven Technical University (Department of Mechanical Engineering) from 2010 to 2011. My main current research interests include structural stability (bifurcation) analysis of dissipative systems (elasto-plastic, visco-elastic and visco-plastic), material instability modeling in relation to the prediction of formability of metal sheets, as well as finite element technology (solid–shell formulations).

Specialties: - Structural stability (bifurcation) of dissipative systems (elasto-plastic, elasto-viscoplastic),
- Material instability modeling in relation to the formability prediction in sheet metal forming,
- Finite element technology and formulation and validation of advanced solid–shell elements.
