Ludovic Charleux

Ludovic is an associate professor at Université Savoie Mont Blanc, affiliated with the SYMME laboratory and Polytech Annecy-Chambéry. His research focuses on the modeling and simulation of mechanical systems for mechatronics, with applications spanning from indentation mechanics at micro/nano scale to nonlinear vibration energy harvesting and vision-based localization for surgical navigation. He combines theoretical modeling with experimental validation and emphasizes open, reproducible science through the development of open-source numerical tools. His work is marked by a strong interdisciplinarity, close industrial collaborations, and an ability to explore non-mainstream approaches, particularly in material modeling.
