Biography
I am a postdoctoral researcher at LAPLACE Laboratory / Toulouse INP, specializing in the reliability and failure mechanisms of microelectronic modules under extreme conditions using advanced multiphysics simulations. My work combines physicochemical analysis, microstructural damage modeling, and FEM to enhance high-reliability power electronics. In my current role, I developed a 2D electrothermal-metallurgical-elastoplastic model in COMSOL to simulate short-circuit events in SiC MOSFETs, predicting failure thresholds and improving device protection. Experimental validation confirmed the model’s accuracy in crack initiation and aging. I hold a Ph.D. from ENS Paris-Saclay University (2022), where I studied crack progression in IGBT components using microstructural analysis and cohesive zone modeling. I also earned a Master’s and Bachelor’s in Physical & Materials Chemistry from Lebanese University.
