Themes

I'm interested in software development and multi-scale modeling in the field of materials sciences, with a current focus on high-entropy alloys.

Recherche

I'm currently studying the thermodynamic stability and constructing the phase diagram of high-entropy alloy nanoparticles (starting from ternary alloys and going up to quinary alloys). The study relies on Monte Carlo simulations (canonical and semi-grand canonical ensembles) and semi-empirical interatomic potentials. My work falls within an ANR project which combines experimental and theoretical researchers with the aim to study the stability and the mechanical properties of CoNiPtCuAg nanoparticles.

Parcours

I obtained my BS (in physics), my M1 (in physics) and my M2 (in nanosciences and functional materials) degrees from the Lebanese University (Lebanon). During my masters I did two internships where I studied the structure and magnetization of metallic oxides using ab-initio methods (VASP,ASW): CoFe2O4, before and after doping with C, and NdFe2O4, before and after doping with Ni and Co.

In November 2022 I completed a 3 year PhD at CEA-Saclay within the SRMP lab (France). During my PhD, I worked on developing a general atomic-scale model of diffusion in concentrated alloys using statistical physics tools. My work consisted on extending the KineCluE code from dilute alloys to concentrated alloys (python). I also studied interdiffusion in nanometric Fe/Cr multilayers by combining atomic kinetic Monte Carlo simulations (fortran95) and X-ray diffraction simulations (python).

I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher at CINaM within the TSN department, with my contract ending in November 2024.
