Antoine Guitton

Antoine Guitton is Full Professor at University of Lorraine's National School of Engineering of Metz (ENIM) in the IMPACT department and Adjunct Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology's School of Materials Sciences and Engineering. His research centers on the LEM3 Laboratory, a premier CNRS-affiliated materials science institute with 250+ researchers in Metz.

Education:

• Accreditation to Supervise Research (HDR), University of Lorraine (2022)
• PhD in Materials Physics, University of Poitiers (2013)
• Master in Materials Physics, University of Poitiers (2010)

His research integrates experimental, mesoscopic and statistical methodologies to investigate plasticity in polycrystals and MAX phase deformation mechanisms. Specializing in electron microscopy, he examines radiation-matter interactions and multiaxial plasticity across scales, contributing to fundamental materials science and industrial applications in metallurgy and hydrogen technologies. His work bridges fundamental mechanics with practical engineering solutions.

Scientific Recognition:

• Outstanding Reviewer, Acta Materialia, Inc. (2020)
• ERC remote referee and expert for French/Czech research foundations

Professor Guitton actively mentors students through ENIM courses, Georgia Tech Europe programs, and the ORION research club he co-founded. His lab within LEM3 provides advanced microscopy resources for studying material microstructures, while his international collaborations through the Georgia Tech-CNRS lab foster cross-border innovation in materials engineering. He emphasizes practical industry applications through partnerships with Institut de Soudure and student clubs like Met'Hy.
