Benoît Roman

Benoît Roman is a CNRS Research Director at ESPCI Paris - PSL University, affiliated with the PMMH (Physics and Mechanics of Heterogeneous Media) laboratory. His work bridges soft matter physics, materials science, and applied mechanics, focusing on phenomena like geometric frustration and plastic flow in material deformation.

Research interests include:

• Geometric frustration in natural and synthetic materials
• Mechanical behavior of soft/heterogeneous media
• Shape morphogenesis through material interactions
• Plastic flow dynamics
• Surface deformation mechanisms

Collaborative efforts extend to institutions like the GDR MePhy research network and the Treilles Foundation. His work has received attention in publications such as Physical Review Letters and Le Monde's science section.
