My PhD research is focused on patient-specific numerical modeling of the biomechanics of leg lymphedema under elastic compression. To this end, I investigate how wearing compressive stockings impacts the hydrostatic pressure distribution within the soft tissues of lymphedematous legs and its effects on lymphatic drainage.

As part of my PhD responsibilities, I conduct approximately 60 teaching hours per year. These hours are divided among activities with Civil Engineer of Mines (ICM) students and BioMedical Engineering & Design (BMED) Master’s students at École des Mines de Saint-Étienne, as well as classes for ICM students. Within these classes, I have had the opportunity to lead practical sessions (TP) on Physical and Mechanical Finite Element Modeling, as well as directed studies (TD) in Continuum Mechanics and Elasticity.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Universidade Federal Fluminense in Brazil, with a double degree in Materials and Mechatronics from Polytech Orléans. Additionally, I hold an Advanced Master’s degree in Design of Materials and Structures from École des Mines de Paris. Currently, I’m pursuing my PhD at École des Mines de Saint-Étienne.
