Biography

After receiving an engineering diploma in wood science and engineering from the “Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Technologies et Industries du Bois”, Epinal, France in 2003, and a Ph.D. degree in wood science from the University Henri Poincaré, Nancy, France in 2006, Vincent Placet became Research Engineer at the Department Applied Mechanics of FEMTO-ST Institute, Besançon, France in 2006. He obtained a habilitation degree in composite materials from the University of Franche-Comté in 2013. His main research interest is on sustainable and bio-based materials, with a specific focus on the thermo-hygro-mechanical behavior of plant fibers and wooden materials, long-term durability, fatigue tolerance, and health monitoring of bio-based composite materials and structures. He is the head of the MATECO research group (Materials for the Ecological Transition) within the Department of Applied Mechanics of the FEMTO-ST Institute. Vincent Placet has authored and co-authored numerous peer-reviewed articles (over 100 papers) in prestigious scientific journals, contributing to the body of knowledge in materials science. His publications are highly cited, reflecting the impact of his research. In recognition of his contributions to the field, Vincent Placet has received several awards and honors including the “Daniel Valentin Price” by AMAC, the French association for composite materials, in 2015.
