+ Resourcing
Le ressourcement est une action quotidienne pour un enseignant chercheur pour perfectionner ses connaissances et suivre les derniers développements en matière de recherche et avancement scientifique et technologique. Le but à atteindre est la recherche de nouvelles idées pour les intégrer dans les axes de recherche existants et éventuellement en créer de nouveaux ; et enfin maintenir un enseignement de qualité. Mes activités de ressourcement sont inscrites dans les objectifs suivants : 1- Améliorer la prestation du Clerc auprès des clients externes et des étudiants et chercheurs ; Prise en main rapidement des nouveaux matériels acquis et faire profiter rapidement de ces matériels en recherche et travaux pratiques 2- Monter d’autres axes de recherche : une expérience réussie est la collaboration entre l’ESIB et la faculté de médecine dentaire par des travaux de modélisation par éléments finis dans le domaine de l’orthodontie ; Cette collaboration est concrétisée par la publication de trois articles dans des journaux américains de très bonne réputation. Les méthodes de l’intelligence artificielle sont une voie explorer dans ce domaine. 3- Consolider et développer les travaux de recherche et collaboration avec L’Ecole des ponts et chaussées et l’Université de Nantes. 4- Développer des logiciels pour le dépouillement des résultats des tests au CLERC. 5- Continuer le développement de mes logiciels dans le domaine des éléments finis
