Mohamed HAMDAOUI is a Maître de conférences at the Université de Lorraine and a researcher at LEM3—UMR CNRS 7239 in Metz, France. His research focuses on computational and numerical mechanics, with particular interest in finite element modeling, reduced-order modeling, structural optimization, uncertainty propagation, and vibration energy harvesting. He began his research career in 2006 at Université Pierre et Marie Curie and defended his PhD on multi-criteria optimization of the propulsive efficiency of biomimetic flapping-wing mini-drones using evolutionary algorithms. He later completed postdoctoral research at École Centrale Paris and UTC Compiègne, working on non-intrusive model reduction methods, POD approaches, and kriging-assisted multi-objective optimization. Since joining the Université de Lorraine in 2013, Dr. Hamdaoui has contributed to research on viscoelastic structures, finite element modeling, uncertainty analysis, and nonlinear modeling for vibration energy harvesting, including applications related to human walking. His work combines numerical simulation, model reduction, optimization, and applied mechanics to address complex engineering problems.
