Dorothee DEBAVELAERE-CALLENS

Dorothee DEBAVELAERE-CALLENS is an Associate Professor (Maître de Conférences HC) at ISTV, University of Valenciennes, where she has been working since 1993. Her academic career progressed from Monitor Grantee (1993-1996), to ATER (1996-1997), to Maître de Conférences (1997-2013), and finally to Maître de Conférences HC since September 2013.

She earned her Doctorate in Electronics from the University of Valenciennes in 1996, with a thesis titled 'Characterization of Bone Progenitors in Culture. Development of an Ultrasound Technique for Dynamic Analysis.' Prior to this, she obtained a DEA in Ultrasound and Imaging (1993) and a Master's degree in Physics (1992), both from French universities.

Her research is multidisciplinary and structured around four main axes: (I) Non-destructive characterization of bone media by ultrasonic waves; (II) Characterization of osteoblast cell adhesion by low-frequency ultrasonic detachment; (III) Characterization of biological cells in Lab-on-a-chip (Bio MEMS); and (IV) Quantification of dairy deposit adhesion and characterization of bacterial proliferation in the food industry. Her work has led to the development of specialized ultrasonic characterization methods and sensors, including a patented Lab-On-Chip technology for acoustic cell characterization at 1 GHz.

Her publication record shows a consistent output of high-quality research, primarily focusing on ultrasonic characterization techniques applied to biological systems, materials science, and industrial applications. The publications demonstrate expertise in high-frequency acoustics, microfabrication, and the development of novel measurement protocols.

As an educator, she serves as the pedagogical responsible for the 3rd year of License SIAMN (Science de l'Information de l'Audiovisuel et des Médias Numériques) at ISTV. Her teaching portfolio includes Optics, Hyperfrequency, Thermodynamics, and Signal Analysis courses across various engineering programs. Her research has involved collaborations with multiple institutions including the Orthopedic Surgery Department of Henri Mondor Hospital, Val de Marne Blood Transfusion Center, Groupe de Recherche sur les Biomatériaux in Lille, and INRA.
