We strive at (i) developing the synergy between mathematically rigorous multi-scale theoretical models, their transformation into efficient numerical tools to run simulations, and advanced experimental approaches, in order to thoroughly understand the multi-scale behavior of structural materials, specifically metals and alloys, and (ii) using the knowledge gained to engineer material microstructure with desired properties.
The Upadhyay group is part of the Solid Mechanics Laboratory (LMS), a mixed research unit (UMR 7649) between the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the Ecole Polytechnique, France.

Abdesselam, Kouider Abdellah ↗
Abdellah started his PhD at the Ecole Polytechnique on September 1, 2021. He has obtained his Master’s degree in Material Science from Polytech Grenoble, Grenoble Alpes Universty. His doctoral thesis, funded by the ERC Starting Grant 2020 project GAMMA (# 946959), focuses on performing in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and radiography experiments to study the microstructural evolution of technologically important alloys during additive manufacturing.
