Dr. Joel Marthelot

Post-Doctoral associate of Pedro Reis’ EGS Lab, MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Previous institutions:
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Saint-Gobain Recherche, ESPCI ParisTech, Universidad Santiago de Chile USACH

Education:
Université Pierre et Marie Curie, ESPCI Paris Tech

Research Interests:
Deformation of slender structures. My scientific interests lie in the study of large deformations of thin structures (shells, plates and rods) and their coupling with fracture, adhesion and fluids.

Autobiography:
Prior to joining MIT in 2014, I was a PhD student in Paris working with José Bico and Benoît Roman on mechanical stability of thin films. In 2014, I was a Raman-Charpak fellow with Narayanan Menon in TIFR, India. I have worked with Francisco Melo at USACH, Chile in 2012, in Egslab at MIT in 2010 and in Schlumberger research center in Tokyo in 2008.
