Dr. Claire MORIN was appointed assistant professor in mechanics at Mines de Saint-Etienne in 2013. After receiving her PhD in 2011 (for which she received two awards), she has specialized in applying the concepts of the homogenization theory to the multi-scale mechanics of living (hard and soft) tissues. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) in 2011-2013, where she worked with Prof. Christian Hellmich on the non linear mechanics and strength of bone, developing a multiscale return map algorithm to retrieve the non linear constitutive behavior of bone. Being hired at Mines Saint-Etienne, she turned to the arterial tissues, developing similar multiscale constitutive models for soft tissues.
