معرفی
Mathieu Ducousso is a part-time Professor (Professeur des Universités) at Arts et Métiers Institute of Technology since September 2022, holding a dual position as a researcher and 'Sensors and instrumentation' expert at Safran Tech (Safran group research center in Paris Saclay). He is a member of the DISCOH research team at the PIMM laboratory (Laboratoire Procédés et Ingénierie en Mécanique et Matériaux). His unique position bridges academic research with industrial applications in non-destructive testing.
Dr. Ducousso's research focuses on acoustic wave propagation and its applications for material characterization, with two main axes:
- Material and structure characterization using elastic waves generated by laser or multi-elements for both short-term industrial crisis resolution and long-term research
- Acoustic studies around laser-generated shock waves to reveal exotic behaviors like von Neumann reflection, with fundamental research applications
His publication record spans from 2008 to present, with recent work (2020-2023) showing a strong focus on laser ultrasonics for adhesive bonding evaluation, shock wave propagation in materials, and advanced imaging techniques. The research demonstrates increasing sophistication in both experimental methods and analytical approaches, with growing emphasis on quantitative evaluation of material properties and structural integrity.
Dr. Ducousso has been actively involved in numerous research projects, including the FUI Monarque project (2018-2021) which he led with a budget of 4M€ and 9 industrial partners. He has co-supervised three PhD students and several research interns, demonstrating his commitment to training the next generation of researchers. His work has resulted in multiple international patents related to non-destructive testing methods.
His laboratory work centers around the DISCOH research team at PIMM, where he develops and applies advanced ultrasonic and laser-based techniques for non-destructive evaluation. The research environment combines academic rigor with direct industrial relevance, providing students and collaborators with opportunities to work on real-world problems with immediate practical applications in aerospace and other advanced manufacturing sectors.
