Pierre-Yves Hicher is currently Professor of Civil Engineering at Ecole Centrale de Nantes and Director of the Regional Institute for Research in Civil Engineering and Construction, after having served as Director of the Research Institute in Civil and Mechanical Engineering, UMR CNRS-Ecole Centrale Nantes-University of Nantes. He is the vice-chair after having served as chair of the Task Committee on Granular Materials of the Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE. He has served as PI and Co-PI for more than 30 research projects with a total funding around 5M€. He is currently Expert for the French Ministry of High Education and Research. His principal research activity and publications lie in the field of the mechanical behaviour of soils and granular materials, where major contributions to developing a methodology for connecting macroscopic properties to the micro structure of heterogeneous materials can be found. He has also contributed to the knowledge of material properties under complex loading paths by developing original experimental procedures and parameter identification methods under inverse analysis techniques. Recently, he has proposed homogenization techniques adapted to disordered granular materials in the modelling of their mechanical behaviour. He is the author and co-author of more than 60 papers in international journals and has published several books on his research topics.
