Nicole Coutris (Doctor of Science, Mathematics, Pierre and Marie Curie University, 1980) has been affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Clemson University, SC, from 2001 to 2003 and since 2006. Previously, she was a Professor at the Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris 6) in the Department of Mechanics until 1990 when she joined the School of Physics (Phelma), one of the six Engineering Schools of the Grenoble Institute of Technology. She served several years as Graduate Coordinator for energy engineering at the Institute level. She performed her research activities at the Laboratory of Fundamental Research of the Grenoble Nuclear Research Center (CEA).
Dr. Coutris research interests have covered a broad area including continuum mechanics of plates, shells, and metamaterials, two-phase flow and heat transfer, interfacial instabilities, asymptotic and scaling methods, analytical formulations and modeling and homogenization techniques.
Her current research topics mainly concern the modeling of metamaterials using asymptotic homogenization and capillary phenomena in soft matter.
