Sébastien Chevalier is a University Professor at the University of Burgundy, affiliated with the Institut Carnot de Bourgogne (ICB) laboratory. He serves as Deputy Director of the ICB laboratory since January 2017 and leads research in the Department of Metallurgical Processes, Sustainability, and Materials (PMDM). His educational background includes a doctoral thesis completed in October 1998 at the University of Burgundy on the durability of metallic materials at high temperatures, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at Clausthal University of Technology in Germany. He was appointed Lecturer at ESIREM in 1999. Professor Chevalier's research focuses on high-temperature materials behavior, particularly: Study of degradation of metallic materials in aggressive atmospheres at high temperature Understanding mechanisms of corrosion at high temperature using advanced techniques like in-situ DRX, TEM, XPS, SIMS, SEM Application of protective surface treatments against high-temperature corrosion Aging and durability under complex atmospheres including H 2 O vapor, S 2 , H 2 S, and Cl 2 Development of metallic materials for energy production and sustainable development Study of aging of metallic materials produced by additive manufacturing His recent publications demonstrate strong focus on high-temperature corrosion mechanisms, protective coatings development, and materials for energy applications. His work often employs advanced characterization techniques including isotopic labeling to understand oxide layer growth mechanisms. Professor Chevalier has received recognition through: 106 publications in A-ranked journals 20 other publications 14 works He has supervised 16 PhD theses and participated in 59 Thesis and HDR Juries. His research collaborations include 22 research collaboration contracts and 4 ANRS projects. He has presented his work extensively with 91 international conferences, 51 national conferences, and 18 other conferences/popularization events. Professor Chevalier has held leadership positions including Head of the M4OxE team and Director of the PMDM department before becoming Deputy Director of the ICB laboratory.
