Nicolas PINEL

Nicolas PINEL is a Researcher Lecturer at ICAM in Nantes, France. His primary affiliation is with the Measurements and Controls research axis, associated with the IETR laboratory. His work focuses on electromagnetic scattering phenomena, radar technology, and geophysical applications. He develops advanced numerical methods like GPILE and Kirchhoff approximations to model interactions between electromagnetic waves and complex environments such as rough surfaces, layered media, and subsurface structures.

Key research areas include radar backscattering from oil-contaminated sea surfaces, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for subsurface imaging, and signal processing techniques for pavement analysis. His studies bridge theoretical models with experimental validations, addressing challenges in environmental monitoring, civil engineering, and maritime surveillance.

Collaborations involve prestigious laboratories worldwide, emphasizing applied research for industry-relevant solutions. His contributions span radar system optimization, non-destructive testing, and computational electromagnetics, with applications in geoscience, transportation infrastructure, and pollution detection.
