Morgan Dal serves as Senior Lecturer and Team Leader of the Laser Processes research group at PIMM Laboratory, Arts et Métiers Institute of Technology. Appointed in 2012, he holds an HDR (Habilitation to Supervise Research) from CNAM (2020) and maintains active roles in doctoral training and laboratory leadership. His research bridges computational modeling with experimental laser processing. His academic credentials include: PhD in Mechanical Engineering, University of Southern Brittany (2011): 'Magneto-thermo-hydrodynamic simulation of TIG arc welding - estimation of the evolution of a fusion front' HDR, CNAM (2020): 'Laser application simulations: from development to validation' Professor Dal's research centers on laser-material interactions with five core pillars: (1) Laser Processing techniques including welding and additive manufacturing; (2) Multiphysics Numerical Simulation using finite element and fluid dynamics methods; (3) Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics in high-temperature regimes; (4) Inverse Methods for property estimation; and (5) Thermal Measurement via high-speed imaging. His experimental work frequently addresses industrial challenges in metal processing, particularly for refractory and high-reflectivity materials. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals accelerating output in additive manufacturing (2019-2022), with dominant themes in melt pool dynamics (32% of papers), keyhole stability (24%), and specialized material processing like copper with green lasers (13%). His work consistently integrates experimental validation with computational models, showing particular innovation in dimensionless number approaches for predicting laser welding phenomena. As HDR-qualified supervisor, Professor Dal mentors doctoral candidates through Arts et Métiers' engineering doctorate program. His Laser Processes team operates within PIMM Laboratory's advanced infrastructure, including the Hephaestus' Laser Shock platform and Thermal Laser Processes facilities. The team maintains strong industrial partnerships, particularly with aerospace and energy sector companies, through PIMM's joint laboratory programs and regional collaborations.
