Dominique Pioletti
Dominique Pioletti received his Master in Physics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) in 1992. He pursued his education in the same Institution and obtained his PhD in biomechanics in 1997. He developed original constitutive laws taking into account viscoelasticity in large deformations. Then he spent two years at UCSD as post-doc fellow acquiring know-how in cell and molecular biology. He was interested in particular to gene expression of bone cells in contact to orthopedic implant. In April 2006, Dominique Pioletti was appointed Assistant Professor tenure-track at the EPFL and is director of the Laboratory of Biomechanical Orthopedics. His research topics include biomechanics and tissue engineering of musculo-skeletal tissues; mechano-transduction in bone; development of orthopedic implant as drug delivery system. Since 2013, he has been promoted to the rank of Associate Professor.
Cyril Cayron
Mes recherches: J'ai travaillé comme microscopiste/cristallographe/métallurgiste sur des projets très variés comme les aciers pour le nucléaire, les alliages titane et nickel pour l'aéronautique, les interconnections en cuivre pour la microélectronique, les piles à combustible haute et basse température, le silicium photovoltaïque hétérojonction et monolike, les batteries au lithium à base de LiFePO4 et silicium. Derrière la plupart de ces sujets de recherche appliquée se cachent des problèmes de recherche fondamentale comme celui lié aux transformations de phases. J'ai donc été amené à travailler sur ce sujet passionnant et j'ai pu démontrer que les variants cristallographiques générés par des transitions structurales forment une structure algébrique de groupoïde. Ces travaux ont mené au développement du logiciel de reconstruction des grains parents à partir de données EBSD appelé ARPGE et distribué dans plus de 20 pays. En 2013-2015 j'ai proposé un nouveau modèle cristallographique pour les transformations martensitiques fcc-bcc dans les aciers, comme une alternative à la théorie phénoménologique de la transformation martensitique. Ce modèle a été depuis étendu aux transformations fcc-hcp (type cobalt), bcc-hcp (type titane) et bcc-fcc (type laiton), ainsi qu’à differents modes de maclage mécanique dans les métaux fcc et hcp. Ce modèle à sphères dures montre que la transformation implique une «distorsion angulaire», forme plus générale que le cisaillement. Le modèle prévoit la possibilité que le plan d’interface de certaines macles mécaniques ne soit pas un plan invariant. Un tel cas de maclage « exotique » a été observé expérimentalement par EBSD en 2017 dans un monocristal de magnésium pur. Je travaille maintenant à définir de manière algébrique les concepts de variants (orientation, distortion, correspondance), et sur les types de macles mécaniques (I, II, et d'autres oubliés des théoriques classiques). Mon parcours : 2014-maintenant: Collaborateur scientifique à l'EPFL/LMTM, Neuchâtel, Suisse. J'aide le professeur Roland Logé dans ses travaux de recherche sur les liens entre les fortes déformations, les textures, les tailles de grains et les transformations de phases (diffusives et displacives). Je suis en charge de la salle de métallographie et des caractérisations SEM, EDS, EBSD, TEM, HRTEM. Je codirige trois thèses (Annick Baur, Margaux Larcher, Céline Guidoux). Je suis reviewer pour Acta Mater., Scripta Mater., Acta Cryst., J. Appl. Cryst., Mater. Charact., etc. 2000-2014: Ingénieur de recherche et responsable du groupe Nanocaractérisation, CEA/LITEN, Grenoble, France. 2012 : Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR). 1996-2000: Thèse sur l'étude par microscopie électronique de composites à matrice aluminium. Directeur de thèse Philippe Buffat, CIME, EPFL, Lausanne, Suisse. J'ai pu montrer un lien cristallographique entre différentes phases des alliages 2xxx et 6xxx et proposer pour la première fois une structure complète pour la phase beta prime des nanoprécipités. 1995-1996: Scientifique du contingent, travail sur les écrans électrochromes, COGIDEV, Rueil-Malmaison, France, fondé par M.
