SCHOLAR BACKGROUND

1991 – 1993 Mathematics and Physics DEUG obtained from the University of Bordeaux I.

1993 – 1994 Mechanics License obtained from the University of Bordeaux I.

1994 – 1995 Mechanics Master obtained from the University of Bordeaux I.

1995 – 1996 Mechanics DEA obtained from the University of Bordeaux I.

1996 – 2000 Mechanics PhD obtained from the University of Bordeaux I.

The title of the PhD thesis in Wood Technology was: "Modelling of long term mechanical behaviour of L.V.L. in variable climatic environment"; the supervisor was Prof. Morlier from the Laboratoire de Rhéologie du Bois de Bordeaux (LRBB). The main aim of the work was to build an original finite element modelling of the behaviour of structural wood beams submitted to a four point bending solicitation under a variable climatic environment; the model was able to predict the occurrence of failure by the way of a failure criteria based on the concept of strain energy densities. The validation of the modelling was done using the results of Duration Of Load experiments carried out during the first year of the PhD.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

2000 - 2002 Lecturer of “mechanics of construction with wood material” at the University of Bordeaux; teaching to the students of the European building code for the construction of structure with wood. Researcher at the LRBB performing numerical modelling to achieve research projects and support to other researchers.

2002 – 2004 Researcher (Post-doctorate) at the University of Molise (Italy), within the FP5 ECOSLOPE project, in order to analyse and to compare the architectures of root systems of digitised trees grown on slopes and on flat ground by the way of the software AMAPmod. At the same time, developing a finite element program (CASTEM) in order to better understand the mechanical phenomena induced by the interaction between soil and roots in the anchorage process of the root apparatus on a slope.

From 2003 Lecturer of “Element of wood technology” at the Environment and Forest Science (1st level) section of the University of Molise Lecturer of “Processes of the forest-wood chain” at the Environment and Forest Science and Technology (2nd level) section of the University of Molise

From 2004 Researcher at the University of Molise (Italy); participation to numerous research project on the use of woody biomass for energy purposes. Participation to numerous research project on dendrochronological responses of tree in relation with climatic variations and human induced factors. Various studies on dead wood decay progression in forest in order to quantify the dynamics of carbon sequestration in the dead wood carbon pool. Several working experiences in South American countries and in Tropical countries in Africa mainly for vegetation survey and quantification of biomass components. At that time, participation to the implementation of REDD process in Ghana, Chad and Cameroun.

From November 2014, he is Associate Professor (Chair of Wood Technology and Forest Utilization) at the Università degli Studi del Molise (Italy). His research activities mainly focus on the strengthening of local productive sectors to diversify the use of woody material through the study of the physical-mechanical behaviour of woody elements and production processes for the promotion of bioeconomy and green infrastructure. This activity also takes place through the Analysis of Life Cycle of timber products which allows a quantification of the environmental impacts of the production chains and conditions of use.
