DESCRIPTION:Valentin Rougier (LPAC-EPFL)\nAbstract:\nFor many low-density
  heterogeneous structures\, conventional X-ray absorption imaging is unabl
 e to detect microscopic details such as defects or interfaces. This talk w
 ill focus on X-Ray phase contrast imaging\, an interferometric imaging tec
 hnique which can overcome some of these limitations. Such analyses are now
  available at EPFL’s Laboratory for Processing of Advanced Composites th
 rough its recently acquired system\, Evita. We will also see how this tech
 nique can help bringing insights to studies in various fields such as mech
 anics\, materials science or biology.\n \nBio:\nAfter degrees in physics 
 and materials science at the university of Nice\, France\, Valentin obtain
 ed a PhD from the University of Caen Normandie in 2021. His PhD work focus
 ed mainly on modeling the dynamics of capillary flows in porous media for 
 the processing of composite materials. Valentin joined EPFL in 2021 and is
  now working in prof. Véronique Michaud’s Laboratory for Processing of 
 Advanced Composites (LPAC). His current research mainly focuses on develop
 ing magnetic composites for linear actuators\, and using X-Ray phase contr
 ast imaging for the analysis of heterogeneous and low-density structures.\
