Nicolas Bertin joined LLNL in the Computational Materials Science Group in June 2018. His research focuses on understanding plasticity and strength of crystalline materials in terms of the physics of microscopic defects, with a particular interest in developing novel, computationally efficient models and coarse-graining procedures towards achieving scale transition between lattice defects simulations and continuum plasticity models. His work involves large-scale Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, Discrete Dislocation Dynamics (DDD), and Crystal Plasticity (CP) modeling. He received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2015. Prior to joining LLNL, he was a postdoctoral scholar in the Mechanics and Computation Group at Stanford.
