BRUNET Véronique

Véronique BRUNET is Associate Professor at the Physics Department of the University of Poitiers, France. She received her Ph.D. in Physical chemistry in 2000 at the University of Burgundy, where she worked on the “Synthesis and high-temperature reactivity of NbAl3 intermetallic compound. Influence of the synthesis method onto the oxidation resistance”. She accomplished her habilitation thesis to supervise research (Habilitation à diriger des recherches) untitled “Complex materials used by powder metallurgy: process-microstructure-properties relationships. Case of composites and nano-lamellar ternary phases” at the University of Poitiers in 2018.

At the Pprime Institute, she conducts research on the synthesis of bulk materials using powder metallurgy methods, and investigates mechanical and physico-chemical properties of ceramics, MAX phases, and metal matrix composites. Her current research interests focus on the understanding of the relationship between properties and micro or nano-structure of powder metallurgy end-products. She is co-authors of more than 55 papers in peer-review journals and one book chapter.
