DrCharline Le Nue

Bringing an interdisciplinary background in materials engineering and mechanical engineering, Charline LE NUE has built her research career at the intersection of academic and industrial materials science. Her research focuses on the relationship among processing, microstructure, and mechanical properties in structural alloys (maraging steels, high-Cr cast irons, medium-Mn steels, pearlitic steels...). Her work combines advanced characterisation techniques — including EBSD, XRD, synchrotron X-ray diffraction, and thermal analysis (DTA/dilatometry) — with computational alloy design (CALPHAD) and a strong focus on translating microstructural understanding into improved performance for demanding industrial applications, notably in the aerospace and mining sectors.

Throughout her career, she has worked closely with industry partners in France (Aubert & Duval, Safran Landing Systems) and Australia (IXL, Bradken), contributing to research addressing real-world challenges in alloy design, heat treatment, and wear resistance.
