Ingénieur R&D, Timet Savoie
From technical studies, I continued learning metallurgy and materials in general in an engineering school. My further experience in research (PhD) lead me to microstructure expertise.
I am now working as an R&D engineer in small company, dealing with different structures : client, public laboratories (Ecole des Mines, CEA) and Issartel Industrie. I manage the technical part of the project.
63 contactsMember of the Minerva group, Issartel Industry is a 40 person company specialized in technical and mechanical sub-system assemblies. I am working there as a R&D engineer, investigating the effect of electroerosion machining on the surface of a stainless steel alloy. I am also characterizing the mechanical properties of the alloy.
To do the above work, I also benefit of a special status in Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne. This permits me to use the public equipment (SEM and mechanical machines) of the university laboratory.
2006 - 2009During my PhD, I worked in 2 laboratories : CEA Saclay and CNRS ICMPE. I investigated Zirconium-Erbium-Oxygen and Zirconium-Gadolinium-Oxygen both experimentally and running thermodynamical models (Calphad method). I started from raw metals, melted alloys, applied thermal treatments and characterized the microstructures (SEM, DSC, TDA) and the mechanical properties (tensile tests).
During this experience, I got skills in microstructure analysis mainly, and in solification, elaboration. I also learned how to manage a long project, how to deal with different structures (industry, national laboratory and in-between).
2006 - 2006Internship as a research engineer. I worked on a Magnesium-Zinc cladding on automotive sheets. The subject was about solidification of surface cladding. I worked on phases crystallization, mainly using SEM and temperature X-Ray analysis.
