Biography

Salomé Pires-Boyer is a French engineer. After completing her entire academic career in Paris, she pursued her doctoral studies in Switzerland at the HES-SO Valais-Wallis, in materials engineering within the Industrial Systems Institute, and in collaboration with the nanometallurgy laboratory at the ETHZ. Her thesis work focused on restoring the fatigue resistance of metallic materials using high-intensity pulsed electrical currents, with a view to exploring solutions for extending the service life of components subjected to demanding operating conditions. Its research activities are part of the «Powder technologies and advanced materials» and «Hydro Alps Lab» research groups, and focus on the durability of hydroelectric components, in particular the study of fatigue and the design of innovative materials for structures subjected to cyclic loads.
