Polymer materials / (micro)structure-property relationships / multi-scale modeling / Rheology / Molecular Dynamics

Research themes/centers of interest

My research activities focus on the rheology of polymers in relation to processes, and more specifically on the structure/viscoelastic properties relationships for single-phase or heterophase polymer systems and their modeling (molecular dynamics, filled polymers, dynamic bonds).
