Jean-François Ganghoffer was a CNRS fellow from 1992 to 2000, before being hired as full Professor of mechanics in Université de Lorraine (Nancy, France), where he is currently active. He is the head of the biomechanics team of LEM3, the Laboratoire d'Etude des Microstructures et de Mécanique des Matériaux. He is the leader of a national Federation of Laboratories (IMOA, Ingénierie Mécanobiologie ostéoarticulaire, FR CNRS 2003) in the field of osteoarticular mechanobiology. He has been the Director of a GDR research group on fibrous media. His activities cover bone biomechanics, homogenization methods, mechanics of fibrous media, the multiphysical behavior of architected materials, and topology optimization methods. He has developed different types of bone remodeling models over the past decade, and he has been more recently considering piezoelectric and flexoelectric effects in bone. He is the author of about 300 scientific papers in international journals. He has been invited to many conferences and universities for both research and teaching activities (ETHZ, Georgia Tech Metz, TU Delft, TU Eindhoven, UBC, Vancouver). He is collaborating with many universities worldwide (Brazil, Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, Poland, Canada, US), and he has been invited to deliver lectures at many international conferences. He has published two books, including the monograph 'Multiscale Biomechanics' in Wiley in 2018. He is the frequent reviewer for over twenty international journals. He received several distinctions, including the Beltrami Prize in 2017, the Grand Prix de la Société Industrielle de l'Es in 2005, and the scientific award of excellence by the French Ministry of Research more than 10 years.
