DESPRES Arthur
Teaching activities
I mainly teach at Phelma, Grenoble INP's engineering school. I teach courses on:
- Heat transfer (1st year)
- Materials characterization (2nd year)
- Selection of materials and life cycle analysis (3rd year)
- Materials processing, additive manufacturing (3rd year)
I also teach labs and materials projects.
Research activities
My research activities focus on characterizing microstructures using electron microscopy (mainly TEM), in relation to manufacturing conditions and mechanical properties. These characterization tools are used to address metallurgical issues, which in turn helps to advance the tools and methods themselves. More specifically, my current activities concern:
• Physical metallurgy: optimization of microstructures and properties, with a particular focus on materials produced by additive manufacturing.
• Microscopy: structural characterization at the micro-nano scale using automated crystal orientation mapping (ACOM)
• Microscopy: measurement of elastic strains at the nanoscale applied to metallurgy.
