معرفی
Stéphane Durand is an Associate Professor and Teacher-researcher at Le Mans University's Institute of Acoustics (LAUM), where he leads critical work in the Transducers team. His research focuses on acoustic MEMS device development through strategic collaborations with CEA Leti Grenoble, CEA-DAM, and LNE Trappes, targeting applications in consumer electronics and precision metrology.
Durand's research centers on the design, modeling, and testing of micro-acoustic transducers with emphasis on piezoelectric MEMS loudspeakers and infrasound sensors. He investigates nonlinear effects in thin slit structures for low-frequency sound absorption and develops primary calibration standards for infrasound measurement. His work bridges theoretical acoustics with industrial applications in mobile technology and metrological traceability.
Analysis of his 2020-2023 publications reveals dominant trends in MEMS transducer innovation, particularly wafer bonding processes for high-performance loudspeakers and laser-based calibration systems for infrasound sensors. His research consistently addresses nonlinear acoustic phenomena and precision engineering challenges across both theoretical modeling and experimental validation frameworks.
Durand actively collaborates with CEA Leti Grenoble on MEMS device fabrication for mobile applications and partners with CEA-DAM/LNE Trappes to establish primary standards for infrasound sensors. His work leverages LAUM's advanced acoustic metrology facilities and contributes to France's national measurement infrastructure through these institutional partnerships.
