Ignition and combustion of energetic materials and metal dust

Short Biography:

Prof. Léo COURTY is a full professor at University of Orléans, in France, working in Bourges University Institute of Technology and PRISME Laboratory.
He works for more than 15 years on heterogeneous combustion, both on liquids and solids and for various applications going from wild land fires to energetic materials combustion.
His PhD thesis was on the thermochemical hypothesis to explain accelerating forest fires. It was defended in 2012 in École Nationale Supérieure de Mécanique et d’Aérotechnique (ENSMA).
His Master thesis (graduated in 2009 in Risk Engineering from Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs de Bourges) and first post-doctoral years were on confined fires studies.
His last years studies focus on ignition and combustion of energetic materials, mainly gun propellants and pyrotechnic compositions.
