Franck BéCLIN is a Lecturer in the Department of Physics at the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Lille, and a member of the Materials and Transformations Unit (UMET, CNRS UMR 8207). He conducts research within the Physical Metallurgy and Materials Engineering team, focusing on microstructure and plasticity of ceramics and glasses using advanced electron microscopy techniques (TEM, SEM). His research interests include high-entropy alloys, nuclear materials, powder metallurgy, and the thermomechanical behavior of advanced materials. He actively supervises PhD students working on uranium alloys, high-entropy alloy development, and damage mechanisms in extreme environments such as high-temperature chlorinated atmospheres and liquid metal embrittlement. His recent publications (2020–2023) highlight work on high-entropy alloys (Al-Cr-Fe-Mn-Mo system), nuclear fuel characterization (UMo, ZrN coatings), and microstructural evolution under high pressure and temperature. These studies often involve mechanical alloying, hot pressing, and in-situ carbide formation, published in journals like Journal of Nuclear Materials , Philosophical Magazine Letters , and Frontiers in Earth Science . He collaborates extensively with researchers such as Matthieu Touzin, Catherine Cordier, and Ingrid Proriol Serre. No scientific awards are listed in the provided text. Franck BéCLIN advises numerous PhD students, including Bastien GUYOT, Antoine ROUSSELOT, and Jorge SALGADO. He is involved in multiple research projects related to nuclear materials and advanced alloy development, though specific grants are not detailed. He is part of the UMET laboratory, which hosts platforms such as the Lille Electron Microscopy Platform (PMEL) and high-pressure experimental facilities.
