University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, United States
Dr. Marie A Charpagne is an assistant professor in the Materials Department at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. She was born and studied in France, where she was a first generation college student. She obtained her PhD degree from Mines ParisTech, focusing on thermo-mechanical processing of Nickel superalloys and then moved to the United States to work with Professor Tresa Pollock at the University of California in Santa Barbara. During 4.5 years spent there, she developed numerical tools to collect, recombine and analyze large multimodal datasets in 2D and 3D, automatically. This framework was implemented for study plasticity in a variety of structural materials (superalloys, titanium alloys, refractory metals, high entropy alloys). Her research group now focuses on leveraging these findings into new guidelines for alloy and microstructure design using additive manufacturing.
Marie was awarded the Prize for the best PhD thesis by the French Society for Materials and Metals (2017) and was named a Rising Talent of the Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society (2017). She received her NSF-CAREER award in 2023.
Committed to gender equality, she has participated to several conferences dedicated to Women in STEM, including the DEAN's Forum in Paris (2017), Women's Forum in Mexico city (2017) and W.IN Forum in New York (2018).
Aside from science, Marie is an active classical concert pianist and has given over 50 recitals across Europe and the USA. She graduated from the Conservatory of music with the highest honors in 2013 and is a winner of several international piano competitions.
