Wiyao Azoti is a Lecturer at the National Institute of Applied Sciences of Toulouse (INSA Toulouse), where he is a member of the Composite Materials and Structures group (MSC). His work focuses on the mechanics of composite materials and structures, with particular expertise in multi-scale modeling and micromechanics. Dr. Azoti's educational background includes: PhD in Materials Science from University of Lorraine, France (2012) MSc in Mechanical Engineering from University of Lorraine, France (2009) Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering from ENSI, Togo (2008) His research interests center on the mechanics of materials, with emphasis on linear, nonlinear, and computational aspects; rate-independent and rate-dependent plasticity; micromechanics and mean-fields homogenization techniques; multi-scale modeling of composite materials; damage and fracture behaviors of composite materials; and multiphysics coupling of thermomechanical fields. His work bridges fundamental mechanics with practical applications in automotive, aerospace, and biomedical fields. Dr. Azoti has published extensively in the field of composite materials, with over 50 scientific contributions. His recent work shows a strong trend toward the application of multi-scale modeling techniques to graphene-reinforced composites, biocomposites, and advanced materials for automotive and aerospace applications. He has made significant contributions to understanding the electromechanical behavior of polymer composites, thermomechanical properties of natural fiber composites, and the crashworthiness of hierarchical composite structures. Professional memberships include: African Society of Eco-Materials (ECOMAT-AFRICA) American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) European Mechanics Society (EUROMECH) Dr. Azoti teaches several courses at INSA Toulouse, including Design of Mechanical Systems, Materials Science and Heat Treatment, Automation of Mechanical Systems, Machine Elements and Eco-design, Eco-design and Innovation, and Composite Materials' Projects. His teaching reflects his research expertise, emphasizing sustainable materials and advanced composite technologies.
