Florian Bouville is an Associate Professor at Imperial College London's Department of Materials. His research interests focus on structural functional materials, particularly in creating and processing ceramic materials for high-end engineering applications. Bouville's work involves understanding how to manipulate material structures at multiple length scales to enhance properties for extreme environments, such as turbine blades and bone replacements. He has developed various processes for controlling the structure of ceramics, including those influenced by colloids, solidification, magnetic fields, and additive manufacturing. He strives to replicate designs found in natural structures like bone and wood. Bouville has also contributed to modeling tools to analyze material behavior and structure, leveraging advancements in imaging and data acquisition. He joined Imperial in 2018 after completing a doctorate focused on ceramic materials at INSA de Lyon and postdoctoral research at ETH Zürich. Currently, he is working on ERC-funded projects aimed at improving material toughness through innovative structural designs, offering positions for PhD and Postdoctoral research.
