Dr. Serges Kikwani | Mechanics of Solids | Best Researcher Award

Laboratory of Mechanics and Acoustics (LMA) | Congo, Democratic Republic of the

Dr. Serges Kikwani is a PhD Research Scholar in Solid Mechanics at the Laboratory of Mechanics and Acoustics (LMA), Aix-Marseille University, France, where his research focuses on modeling thermomechanical coupling in adhesive bonding through experimental, analytical, and numerical methods. He holds a DEA in Applied Fluid Mechanics and an Engineering degree in Mechanical Construction from the University of Kinshasa, DRC. With extensive academic and industrial experience, Dr. Kikwani has contributed to mechanical design, thermodynamic solar pumping systems, and infrastructure projects in collaboration with JICA and other institutions. He has held teaching and research positions at multiple universities, including the University of Kinshasa, Loyola University, and the American University of Kinshasa, coordinating academic programs and mentoring students. His research interests encompass materials mechanics, structural adhesives, thermal characterization, and energy-efficient systems. He has published studies on thermal and viscoelastic characterization of adhesives, introducing non-destructive methods using PZT resonance and inverse finite element analysis to determine dynamic material properties. Recognized for his contributions to adhesive materials research, he was nominated for the Best Researcher Award for advancing understanding of dynamic and vibratory behavior in polymers. His work supports the development of more reliable and efficient structural bonding solutions, bridging theoretical, numerical, and experimental approaches in solid mechanics.
