Dr. Lucas Michel

Dr. Lucas Michel started his PhD in 2017 and successfully defended his PhD thesis in June 2023. He worked on localized corrosion, and developed an automated localized electrochemical measurement device, implementing a robotic arm and electrochemical measurement instrumentation. He then employed this novel technique to study localized corrosion of steel, such as wire-​and-arc additively manufactured steel components in the context of architecture and carbon steel corrosion subjected to mechanical stresses, which is relevant in the civil engineering context. After completion of his PhD thesis, Dr. Michel worked on a number of industry-​related projects in the area of corrosion and durability consulting until the end of 2023.
