The connecting question
How can a computational representation of a material reveal its mechanical or transport behavior?
Particle-based modeling at Paris-Saclay and INRAE
At SayFood, Université Paris-Saclay and INRAE, I worked on computational modeling of food processes from March to September 2022, supervised by Dr. Olivier Vitrac.
- Developed SPH methods in LAMMPS and Python for mechanical and rheological behavior during oral processing.
- Performed DPD simulations of hydrophobic mass transfer in the small intestine.
- Contributed to theoretical and computational methodologies for biological process simulation.
Paper microstructures at PIMM
At PIMM, CNRS / CNAM / ENSAM, I worked on paper material microstructures from March to September 2023, supervised by Dr. Justin Dirrenberger.
- Used virtual mechanical tests to investigate the mechanical behavior of paper microstructures.
- Developed a homogenized material model using FEM.
- Characterized mechanical properties in relation to representative elementary volume morphology.
- Studied structure–property relationships using a three-dimensional random fiber model.
Results and insights
These projects establish an earlier trajectory across particle and continuum methods. Selected figures and a fuller reflection on the methodological lessons will be added when the source material has been prepared.
