Jean Lachaud

Jean Lachaud is a researcher at the Institute of Mechanics and Engineering (I2M) affiliated with the TREFLE - Transfers, Fluids and Energy department at the University of Bordeaux. His work focuses on thermal and mechanical behavior of porous and reactive materials, particularly in high-temperature environments.

• Research Interests: Porous media physics, pyrolysis modeling, thermal protection systems, acoustic wave propagation, multiscale simulations.
• Projects: Involved in ANR, PEPR, and European initiatives related to energy efficiency, material durability, and environmental engineering.

His recent publications emphasize thermal non-equilibrium models, biomass pyrolysis, and ablative material response for aerospace applications. He develops computational tools like PATO and integrates experimental data with numerical simulations to study gasification, oxidation, and heat transfer phenomena.
