معرفی
Patrick Cordier is a Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Lille, France, and a Senior Member of Institut Universitaire de France. He has held academic positions since 1989, including leadership roles at UMET Institute and significant contributions to mineral physics and materials science.
- Education: Habilitation (1995), PhD (1989), and M.S. (1985) in Materials Science from University of Lille.
His research focuses on nanomechanical testing of minerals, plastic deformation mechanisms under high pressure, and multiscale numerical modeling of material behavior. He pioneered TEM-based defect characterization and developed physics-based models for mantle rheology.
Recent publications highlight stress-induced amorphization, pure climb creep mechanisms, and TEM-based dislocation analysis, spanning materials science, geophysics, and solid-state physics with applications to Earth's mantle dynamics.
- Scientific Awards: Dana Medal (2016), ERC Advanced Grants (2011, 2018), Fellowships (American Geophysical Union, Mineralogical Society of America), and French academic honors.
Cordier supervised 18 completed PhDs, 3 ongoing, and 8 habilitations. He served as Chief Editor of European Journal of Mineralogy and led major research groups and infrastructure projects at University of Lille.
