Julien Meaud

Dr. Julien Meaud is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. His research focuses on auditory mechanics, composite materials, and computational mechanics with interdisciplinary applications in biomedical engineering and materials science.

Education:

• Ph.D., Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (2010)
• M.S., Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (2006)
• B.S., Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France (2005)

Research Interests:

• Computational modeling of the mammalian cochlea to study hearing mechanisms and design biomimetic sensors
• Design of composite materials with high stiffness and damping via topology optimization
• Nonlinear dynamics of bistable systems and their applications in energy absorption and metamaterials

Article Trends: Recent work emphasizes auditory mechanics (otoacoustic emissions, cochlear micromechanics) and advanced materials (bistable composites, viscoelastic metamaterials). Key themes include nonlinear dynamics, computational modeling, and interdisciplinary biomedical applications.
