Philippe Denier

Philippe Denier serves as Professor at Arts et Métiers ParisTech (ENSAM) in Strasbourg, holding a lecturer position in the Department of Electrical and Energy Engineering while concurrently teaching at INSA Strasbourg and CNAM across thermal engineering, materials science, and chemistry disciplines.

His research focuses on metallic material corrosion in groundwater, drinking water networks, and HVAC systems, with seminal work correlating Alsace aquifer hydrochemistry to bacterial-induced corrosion mechanisms. This bridges materials science with environmental and thermal engineering through practical infrastructure applications.

Publications from 1990-2002 reveal an evolution from field studies of biocorrosion in Strasbourg heat pumps toward advanced laboratory characterization using X-ray diffraction, culminating in comprehensive analyses of steel corrosion in potable water systems and ion-implantation surface treatments.

Denier operates within the LISS Research Unit and provides technical expertise on building hydraulic network failures, particularly concerning stainless steel and copper components in exchangers and distribution systems.
