MINES Saint-Étienne

Teaching

Teachings were given from the beginning of my PhD thesis for master students and from 1998, for 2nd  (2A) and final (3rd-3A) students of École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Saint-Étienne. Courses for 3A students are also for M.Sc level. The topics of the courses and tutorials deal with mechanics, computational mechanics and mathematics for physics.

In the recent years many courses were created and taught. In 2002, I built a new 120h block of scientific teaching specifically for mechanics. In 2006, I have been in charge of teaching activities regarding engineering and health (120h in 2A, 360h in 3A, 2 MSC specialties).

From 2009 I have been managing a 90h block courses about computational mechanics (including dedicated courses about dynamics and computational mechanics) and a 24 h block for applied mathematics. In 2012 I have settled a 300 pages course about material homogenization and composites. From September 2014, I am in charge of a 160h block dedicated to Mechanics, besides teaching structural mechanics and composites in this block. Along with these courses, managing student exchangs with Bristol University and tutoring students (2nd year, 3rd year, MSc) placed in industry represent a large part of my teaching duties.
