Alexandre Martin, Ph.D., P.E.

Dr. Martin received his B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Montréal (Québec, Canada), and his M. Sc. A. and Ph.D. from École Polytechnique, also in Montréal. During his graduate studies, he worked on ablation modeling, heat transfer by arc-wall interactions and mesh adaptation, applied to industrial circuit breakers. His work has been directly used in the industry, especially by Areva T&D (France), where he spent a year implementing his work. For the last four years, he’s been working on the modeling of ablation and gas-surface interactions, applied to hypersonic flows, mostly re-entry vehicles. During that period, he worked closely with the Reactive Flow environment, as well as the Thermal Protection branch at NASA Ames Research Center.
