[email protected] www.larmaur.univ-rennes1.fr Brief personal history Tanguy Rouxel gained his B. Sc (French DEA) in Mechanics of Materials from the University of Paris XIII, and his Ph.D (French Doctorate) in Ceramic Science from the University of Limoges. After graduating he became a Post-doctoral Fellow in the Government Industrial Research Institute of Nagoya (then the NIRIN, Japan) for one year and a half. Dr. Rouxel then held a position as a CNRS Researcher in the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Céramiques Industrielles for four years, during which he spent several periods of study leave, in the department of Materials Science at the University of Tokyo, and in the Glasses and Ceramics laboratory in the University of Rennes (France). In 1997, Dr. Rouxel was appointed Professor at the University of Rennes, where he is presently leading a new research laboratory (the LARMAUR) devoted to the study of surface mechanics problems, and flow and fracture in advanced glasses and ceramics.
