Jean-François Caron
Project coordinatorJean-François Caron leads the Architected Materials and Structures (MSA) department of the Navier Laboratory and is Professor at Ecole des Ponts Paristech. His scientific contributions concerns essentially the modelling of multilayered structures and composites, and the study of innovative composite structures. He shared in 2006 the Tsuboi best paper award from the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS) and in 2017 the « Outstanding paper award » from the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE) for his work on composite gridshells. He is member since 2012 of the European working groupe WG4 “Fibre Reinforced Polymer Structures” developing composite Material Eurocode for new structures. For Three years, his research also focuses on digital construction, 3D printing and robot for construction and he leads the scientific developments of the new robotic platform of Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, Build’in.

Nicolas Roussel
Project co-leadNicolas Roussel is in charge of the rheology and processing of construction materials team at IFSTTAR. He is the author of more than 100 international journal papers in this field. He received in 2007 the Robert L’Hermite Medal for his work on rheology of fresh concrete. He is chairing the Technical Advisory Committee of the International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM) and the recent RILEM Technical Committee on Digital fabrication with cement‐based materials. He is editor in chief of RILEM technical letters, deputy editor in chief of Materials and structures and associate editor for Cement and concrete Research and Advances in Cement Research.
