Corrosion Modelling with Cellular Automata

Damien Féron has been Director of Research at CEA (French Atomic and Alternative Energies Commission) since 2007 and Professor at INSTN (The French School for Energy and Health Technology, University Paris-Saclay) since 2010. He has been working in the corrosion field for more than 40 years. He chaired the Working Party on Nuclear Corrosion (2003-2016) of the European Federation of Corrosion (EFC) and the Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC). He has been President of the EFC (2017-18) and the WCO (World Corrosion Organization) which is a non-governmental organization recognized by the United Nations (2019-2022). He has published more than 70 scientific papers and is editor or co-editor of 22 books or special issues in journals, mainly in the field of microbial corrosion, seawater corrosion and nuclear corrosion. During his career, he has received several national and international honors, including appointment as an Honorary Fellow from both NACE (USA) and the EFC, and the Lee Hsun Lecture Award in China. He was also nominated for the “Chevalier dans l’ordre des Palmes Académiques” (French National Honor) in 2017.

DI CAPRIO Dung is currently working as a researcher “Hors Classe” at CNRS in the Institute of Research of Chimie Paris (IRCP). He graduated from the “Ecole Normale Supe´rieure de Lyon” in 1990 and then went on to obtain his Ph.D in Theoretical Physics on “the study of critical phenomena in liquids” from the University of Paris VI. His research interests include modelling of complex systems at interfaces: electrical double layer, and nematic fluids using a statistical mechanics-based approach.

He also develops numerical simulations to study electrodeposition, corrosion and passivation phenomena using a cellular automata approach. He has published over 80 scientific papers
