Alexis Deschamps

Prof. Alexis Deschamps is a Professor at Grenoble Institute of Technology, affiliated with the Metal Physics team in the SIMAP Laboratory. His research focuses on phase transformations in metallic alloys, microstructure-property relationships (plasticity, rupture), and physical metallurgy of welding in light alloys.

• ECP Engineer (1992)
• Master of Engineering, McMaster University (1994)
• PhD, INPG (1997)
• HDR, INPG (2003)

His work utilizes synchrotron X-ray measurements and small angle scattering techniques (SAXS/SANS) for in-situ studies of microstructural evolution. He has contributed to thermo-kinetic modeling, precipitation strengthening, and mapping nanostructures in heterogeneous materials like friction stir welds.

Awards:

• University Institute of France (2009)

He teaches materials science at Grenoble INP-Phelma, covering phase transformations, plasticity, and damage assessment.
