معرفی
Alexandre MUSSI is a Lecturer at the University of Lille, affiliated with the Materials and Transformations Unit (UMET, CNRS UMR 8207) and teaches in the Physical Measurements department at IUT A in Lille. His research is centered on mineral plasticity, particularly in mantle and subduction zone minerals, using advanced Transmission Electron Microscopy techniques such as electron tomography, weak-beam imaging, and orientation mapping.
His research interests include mineral deformation mechanisms, dislocation dynamics, electron tomography, high-pressure mineral physics, and geophysical applications of materials science. He collaborates extensively with researchers like Patrick CORDIER, Philippe CARREZ, and Karine GOURIET.
Alexandre MUSSI’s recent publications (2021–2024) span high-impact journals such as Nature, Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, and Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth. The articles reflect a strong focus on dislocation behavior in olivine, quartz, and MAX phases under extreme conditions, combining experimental TEM with mechanical modeling. A secondary theme involves materials for pharmaceutical applications, particularly mesoporous silica-based drug delivery systems.
He has co-directed PhD theses by Timmo WEIDNER (2024) and Billy Clitton NZOGANG (2019). He actively presents his work at international conferences, including invited talks at Thermec 2021 and the French Microscopy Society (SFµ) 2023.
He has not received any explicitly mentioned scientific awards in the provided text. He is actively involved in research projects related to planetary interiors and materials characterization.
Alexandre MUSSI is part of the Plasticity research team at UMET and utilizes advanced electron microscopy platforms such as PMEL. He is not indicated as part-time, retired, or a former staff member, and there is no mention of his passing, confirming his active status.
