Speaker information

Professor Michel Grediac , Blaise Pascal University, France. Michel Grédiac received a M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the "Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Arts et Metiers" in Paris and a Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Lyon in 1991. He was appointed as a research professor at the "Ecole Nationale Superieure des Mines de Saint-Etienne" and promoted to full professor at the University of Clermont-Ferrand in 1997. His research interests are in composite materials and in the development and use of full-field measurement techniques in experimental solid mechanics.
