Education

Dr Sylvie Castagne received her PhD in Applied Sciences from the University of Liege, Belgium. She also earned an MSc in Applied Physics Engineering and a DEA in Applied Sciences, which encompass a broad range of physics, materials and engineering areas.

 

Academic Profile

Before joining NTU, Sylvie worked in Singapore as a Senior Research Engineer at SIMTech (Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology) and as an Assistant Professor at the University of New South Wales Asia. She also acquired some experience in Aerospace Engineering through her work at the Centre of Excellence for Integrated Aircraft Technology (Queen’s University Belfast, UK, 2003-2006) and spent five years working as a Researcher in the Department of Mechanics of Structures and Materials (University of Liege, Belgium, 1998-2003), where her research focused on the modeling of metal forming processes and on the development of multi-scale finite element models for the analysis of damage and crack propagation in metals at high temperature.
