Veronique MICHAUD
Biography :
Véronique Michaud is currently head of the Laboratory for Processing of Advanced Composites at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, in Switzerland. She graduated in 1987 from Ecole des Mines in Paris with an engineering degree, in 1991 from MIT with a PhD in Materials Engineering, and obtained a Research Habilitation from INPG in France in 1994. After a post-doctoral research stay at MIT, she spent 3 years at Ecole Centrale in Paris for teaching and research in the Laboratory for Materials, Structures and Soils Mechanics, before joining EPFL in 1997. Her fields of research address fundamental aspects of composite materials processing, often including economic and environmental aspects to lower the overall product footprint, as well as the development of smart materials and structures including self-healing, shape and vibration control and tailored damping. She is also the co-founder of the start-up CompPair Technologies SA, which was created in 2020, served as Associate Dean for Education for the faculty of Engineering from 2017-2023 and is European Editor since 2023 for the journal Composites Part A.
