Armande Capitaine

Armande Capitaine serves as an Associate Professor at the University of Bordeaux within the Institute of Engineering, specifically in the Department of Reliability Engineering. She is an active member of the RELIABILITY research group and the RESS team at IMS (Laboratoire de l'intégration, du matériau au système), a prominent research laboratory affiliated with the University of Bordeaux, Institut Polytechnique de Bordeaux, and CNRS.

Her research focuses on battery technology, particularly lithium-ion batteries, with special emphasis on state-of-health diagnosis, battery aging mechanisms, and performance under extreme conditions like low temperatures. Capitaine's work addresses critical challenges in electrochemical storage systems, including non-destructive testing methods, reliability assessment, and the environmental impact of digital technologies in engineering education. Her research bridges theoretical modeling with practical applications for battery management systems.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong concentration on lithium-ion battery diagnostics and performance optimization. Her work spans both fundamental research on aging mechanisms and practical applications for battery management systems. A notable trend is her focus on low-temperature performance of high-energy batteries, which has significant implications for electric vehicles operating in cold climates. She also contributes to interdisciplinary research, including medical mycology and sustainable engineering education.

Capitaine actively collaborates with a consortium of French laboratories and manufacturers, including STMicroelectronics, Stellantis, and CEA, as evidenced by her co-authorship on multiple publications with researchers from these institutions. Her work demonstrates strong industry-academia partnerships focused on real-world battery applications.

She is affiliated with the IMS laboratory, which houses multiple research platforms including the Mechanical Assembly Analysis & Stand Platform, Living Cognitics Complex Systems Platform, and the Future of vehicle A2M Platform. Her work within the RELIABILITY research group contributes to the broader mission of developing robust and dependable technological solutions.
