MoSES = Modeling Simulation and Experiment Synergy
The MoSES group strives 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 MoSES 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.
Group Leader: Manas V. Upadhyay
PhD students
Mohanan, Nikhil ↗
Nikhil started his PhD at the Ecole Polytechnique on September 1, 2020. He has obtained his bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2015 from the Mahatma Gandhi University (Kottayam, India), followed by his Master of Science diploma in Mechanics and Mathematical Modeling in 2020 from the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (Russian Federation). His doctoral research is focused on creating a model to understand the role of intrinsic heat treatment on microstructure evolution during metal additive manufacturing.
