Postdoctoral position in masonry modelling to study historical earthquakes
- As an extension of my PhD thesis, the ANR ACROSS aims to define a strategy to characterize historical ground motion based on ArChaeology, inventory of ReConstruction, Seismology, and Structural engineering.
Finalist to MT180 (ma thèse en 180 secondes)
- This competition aims to promote public understanding my research project to a non-specialist, non-scientific and highly diverse audience giving a concise and convincing presentation using simple terms, images and metaphors in just three minutes.
Intern in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology with J. Clement and Dr. M. Lancieri (IRSN)
- Computational analysis of dynamic response of nuclear facilities under seismic load
- Relationship between Engineering Demand Parameters and Intensity Measures
Associate researcher in the RECAP ANR program under the supervision of Dr. H. Dessales (ENS/AOROC)
- Stratigraphic analysis of building ruins in Pompei to identify damage and post-earthquake repairs associated to the 63 A.D. and 70 A.D. seismic events;
- Quantifying damage mechanisms from post-earthquake repairs;
- Studying the evolution of building techniques used by roman workers after earthquakes
Intership in archaeoseismology with Pr. K.-G. Hinzen (Earthquake Geology and Archaeoseismological Group, University of Cologne)
- Modelling ancient masonry from various building techniques (Inca walls, Roman walls, Hellenistic wall, ...) using a block-based approach
- Computational analysis of the seismic response of ancient masonry
Intership with Dr. J. Cauzid (GeoRessources laboratory, University of Lorraine) Physical-chemical analysis (nanotomography, DRX, XRF analysis) of archaeological melting-pot to deduce chemical component of ancient melt found on archaeological excavation.
