Mechanics of Solid Interfaces

Muriel Braccini has been a CNRS research fellow since 2002. Her scientific interest rests in interface adhesion in heterogeneous materials. Her principal activities deal with the microstructure/properties relationship approach for non-organic materials.Michel Dupeux was appointed Assistant Lecturer in 1970, then became Lecturer at Grenoble Institut National Polytechnique, then finally Professor at Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble in 1989. His scientific interest rests in the micro-mechanical behavior of heterogeneous materials and interfaces, covering physical, chemical and structural aspects. He retired in 2009, but still keeps up an interest in his original scientific field and some scientific activity (textbook writing, textbook translation from English to French).
