Christine Blanc Is a Professor in ENSIACET -INPT / CIRIMAT (UMR-CNRS 5085). She is Head of the Research Group MEMO (Mechanics - Microstructure - Oxidation and corrosion, 48 persons) in CIRIMAT. She is also Head of a teaching section for third year students "Innovative Materials" with a specific class "Durability" in the ENSIACET and Head in INPT of Master 2 "Structural Materials for Aeronautics and Space applications". Pr. Blanc received her Ph. D (1997) in Material Science from the INPT in the Laboratory of Crystallography, Reactivity and Protection of Materials, Toulouse, France. Her field of research is corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement of metallic materials with a focus about the coupling between microstructure - mechanics - environment. She has published over 130 papers in scientific journals, books and conference proceedings. She has been awarded the 1998 Léopold Escande Prize by INPT, the 2001 H.J. Engell Prize from The International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE), the 2005 Jean Rist Medal from the French Society of Metallurgy and Materials (SF2M), the 2006 FEMS Lecturer from the Federation of European Materials Societies (FEMS) and the 2013 Constellium Prize from the French Academy of Science. She is President of the Scientific and Technical Comity and of the "Stress corrosion cracking - Hydrogen embrittlement - corrosion fatigue" commission of the CEFRACOR, France. She has supervised 24 Ph. D students. See less
