Stéphane Brûlé, contributor in the field of seismic metamaterials, is a researcher in seismic risk assesment, soil dynamics, soil-structure interaction and geotechnical engineering, holder of a master’s degree research from École Normale Supérieure de Paris and Pierre and Marie Curie University and an engineering diploma in geotechnics of Grenoble-Alpes University in the field of soil mechanics, ground improvement and deep foundations. Stéphane Brûlé is the Phd studend of Stefan Enoch, director of research at CNRS, and was the leading author of the foundation paper for the field of seismic metamaterials [Physical Review Letters 112, 133901, 2014]. He also led with Sébastien Guenneau and Stefan Enoch, and others, the first experiment on lensing of surface Rayleigh waves via negative refraction [Scientific Reports 7, 18066, 2017].
He is also teaching in Universities and Engineering Schools (ENS Lyon, Polytech Grenoble, EOST, ESITC Paris, École des Mines d’Alès, Polytech Clermont), is a member of the International Technical Committee 203 « Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Associated Problems », and is also an active boardmember of the French committee of soil mechanics (CFMS) and of the French earthquake engineering association (AFPS).
