Welcome

Victor ROMERO, PhD in Physics

Resume

I am an Experimental Physicist with a PhD from Université Pierre et Marie Curie France and Universidad de Santigo de Chile. I have worked in fracture of thin sheets, Colloidal suspensions, and Friction & Contact mechanics. Currently, I am a starting faculty at the ELAN team at INRIA Grenoble Rhône-Alpes working in problems in soft matter and extreme mechanics in collaboration with Laboratoire Jean Le Rond ∂'Alembert in Paris.

Teaching

LU3ME111: is an optional module in mechanics for L3 students at Sorbonne Unverisité. Five sessions experimental course (20 hours):

  • Session 1: Young's modulus measurements by uniaxial traction.
  • Session 2: Young's modulus measurements by deflection of an horizontal beam under its own weight.
  • Session 3: Young's modulus measurements by the elastic vibration of a vertical beam.
  • Session 4: Scaling law for the buckling instability of a vertical beam.
  • Session 5: Hertz's law of sphere-plane contact.
— With Arnaud LAZARUS

ABAQUS : is a final term project that is proposed to 10/15 Master students (1st year) at Sorbonne Unverisité. Four projects to be developed in ABAQUS for plates and rods:

  • Project 1: Cantilever, deflection of a beam under its own weight.
  • Project 2: Bend-twist instability for curly rods.
  • Project 3: Lateral buckling of a wide plate.
  • Project 4: Stick-slip of a compressed ribbon.

PHY405(2022): Exercises for electromagnetism and optics for L2 students in chemestry at Unverisité Grenoble-Alpes (33 hours):

  • Unit 1: Electrostatics.
  • Unit 2: Magnetostatic and kinetics.
  • Unit 3: Electromagnetic/optical waves and applications to chemistry.
— With Gabriel SEYFARTH

PHY405 (2023): Exercises for electromagnetism and optics for L2 students in chemestry at Unverisité Grenoble-Alpes (33 hours):

  • Unit 1: Electrostatics.
  • Unit 2: Magnetostatic and kinetics.
  • Unit 3: Electromagnetism.
