Emmanuelle Anne Boehm Courjault

Emmanuelle Anne Boehm Courjault is a Lecturer and Scientific Collaborator at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), affiliated with the School of Engineering (STI) and the Construction Materials Laboratory (LMC). She works within the SMX-ENS teaching unit and participates in intermediate bodies such as the STI Faculty Council and SCI-STI-JVH Group. Her research focuses on materials science, particularly concrete degradation mechanisms like Alkali-Silica Reactions (ASR).

• PhD Thesis Supervision
• Teaching in Materials Science and Construction Materials

Her research investigates concrete deterioration through advanced microscopy techniques, including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), focusing on early-stage ASR products and their structural and chemical properties.

Her work has demonstrated similarities between field and accelerated ASR product analyses, validating laboratory methods for studying concrete degradation. Research includes testing supplementary cementitious materials (fly ash, calcined clay) to mitigate ASR expansion.

She is actively involved in teaching and academic governance at EPFL, contributing to the development of materials science education and research protocols.
