所在团队情况Team situation：

Dr. Diop's   research program is tightly coordinated with the Industrial Research team   called Institute of Light Metal Metallurgy (ILMM). While the ILMM team will   focus on the global behavior of the Halt-Héroult cell. The team has already   mastered the start-up modelling.

Projects are   currently undertaken on chemical species migration in the cathode, which will   lead to degradation models (in the long term). In order to further knowledge,   the Chair’s research program has been divided in three sections. The first   aims at furthering knowledge regarding modelling of complex phenomena and   their numerical implementation.

he second   section aims for an experimental support to further knowledge regarding   thermo-electro-mechanical behavior of the cell. Finally, the third section aims   for targeted projects where the thermo-electro-mechanical behavior of the   cell will be tackled in order to improve the energy efficiency of current   cells.

人才培养情况Talent training：

In   this aspect, Dr. Diop's contributions are excellent because of his academic   background and technical experience from the industry. Also, we must mention   that the students of his research group are very motivated and of a very high   potential to carry out quality research. Subsequently, several measures are put   in place to promote the integration and collaboration of students within a   multi-disciplinary group of an international character. We note, in   particular, industrial visits and internships. During the last six years, 1   Post-doc, 6 Ph.D. and 14 master students have been under the direction or   co-direction of the applicant. All of these students currently hold academic   or industrial engineering positions. Let’s note that several students are   pursuing their careers in fields related to the aluminum industry. The above   description shows that students have acquired skills that are sought after by   the industry.

In   summary, the work of Dr. Diop to real science, engineering, and industrial   needs and is under the leadership of a very competent, recognized, and productive   researcher who contributes significantly to the training of Highly Qualified Personnel,   particularly at the masters and doctorate level.

个人寄语Personal message：

Something is fascinating about   science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling   investment of fact. (Life on the Mississippi)
