The global leader in the development, manufacturing, and recycling of aluminium products and solutions, Constellium celebrates the 10th anniversary of its International Scientific Council (ISC), established in 2013. Over the past decade, the ISC has played a crucial role in guiding Constellium's research and development initiatives, promoting innovation, supporting sustainability goals, and addressing challenges in the dynamic field of materials science.
Comprised of five distinguished academic members from global laboratories and universities, the Council offers high-level advisory support and recommendations for R&D, innovation strategies, climate change mitigation plans, research collaborations, and expanding Constellium's scientific network. The Council has delved into diverse topics, including the effects of hydrogen in precipitation-hardened alloys, modelling auto body sheet formability, the science of aluminium solidification, and the development of additive manufacturing powders.
Furthermore, the ISC has actively addressed industry-wide challenges such as decarbonization technologies, innovations in metals for aerospace applications, advancements in electric vehicle technologies, and other critical technical challenges related to sustainability. The Council's contributions have been instrumental in shaping Constellium's scientific endeavours and ensuring its commitment to excellence in the ever-evolving landscape of materials science.
Ludovic Piquier, the Senior Vice President of Manufacturing Excellence and Chief Technical Officer at Constellium, said, "As we celebrate a decade of pioneering research and collaboration, the International Scientific Council stands as a beacon of innovation. Guided by insights from world-leading minds, our pursuit of scientific excellence and sustainability is unwavering. We look forward to another decade of transformative discoveries that will continue to propel Constellium's bright future."
In celebration of its 10th anniversary, Constellium is excited to announce the addition of Dr. Daniel Cooper, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan, to its distinguished International Scientific Council. Dr Cooper's extensive expertise in manufacturing and sustainability perfectly aligns with Constellium's dedication to cutting-edge research and environmentally conscious solutions. He joins a prestigious lineup that includes Prof Dr-Ing. Heinz Voggenreiter, Director of the German Aerospace Center's Institute of Structures and Design and Chair of the ISC, Prof. Patrick Grant, Vesuvius Professor of Materials at the University of Oxford, Prof. Laine Mears, Professor and BMW SmartState Endowed Chair of Automotive Manufacturing at Clemson University, and Prof Greg Olson, Thermo-Calc Professor of the Practice in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT.
