Matthieu Blanc a obtenu son diplôme d'ingénieur en génie civil en 2007, diplôme délivré par l'ENTPE / Université de Lyon.

Il a obtenu son doctorat en géotechnique, délivré par l'ENTPE / Université de Lyon en 2011 pour des recherches sur les effets des rotations des axes de contraintes principales dans les sables.

Depuis 2011, il a rejoint l'Université Gustave Eiffel - Campus de Nantes (anciennement IFSTTAR et LCPC) pour travailler sur la modélisation physique en tant que chercheur dans l'équipe Centrifugeuse Géotechnique.

Les recherches actuelles de Matthieu Blanc explorent les thèmes liés à la modélisation physique en géotechnique, notamment avec la centrifugeuse géotechnique. Il travaille principalement sur les interactions sol-structure sous chargement complexe, comme le renforcement des sols, les fondations profondes et superficielles. Les applications récentes sont orientées vers les fondations et les systèmes d'ancrage des énergies marines renouvelables. Le défi permanent pour chacun de ces sujets est d'observer et de comprendre les phénomènes, et aussi d'obtenir des données expérimentales appropriées à comparer aux modèles numériques ou théoriques.

Auteur d'une vingtaine de publications dans des revues, il a reçu en 2018 le prix Jean Kérisel récompensant le jeune ingénieur/chercheur en géotechnique servi par la Société française de mécanique des sols.

En 2021, il prend la direction du laboratoire de Centrifugeuses Géotechniques (CG) du département GERS.

Matthieu Blanc obtained his Engineering Degree in Civil Engineering in 2007, a diploma delivered by ENTPE/Lyon University.

He received his PhD in Geotechnical Engineering, delivered by ENTPE/Lyon University in 2011 for research on the effects of the principal stress axes rotations in sand.

From 2011, he moved to the Gustave Eiffel University - Nantes Campus (formerly IFSTTAR, formerly LCPC) to work on physical modelling as a researcher in the Geotechnical Centrifuge team.

Matthieu Blanc’s current research explores themes concerned with physical modelling in geotechnics, particularly with the geotechnical centrifuge. He is working mainly on soil-structure interactions under complex loading, such as soil reinforcement, deep and shallow foundations. Recent applications are orientated towards Renewable Marine Energy foundation and anchoring systems. The ongoing challenge for each of these topics is to observe and understand the phenomena, and also to obtain appropriate experimental data to be compared to numerical or theoretical models.

Author of 16 publications in journals, he received in 2018 the Jean Kérisel prize rewarding young geotechnical engineer/researcher served by the French Soil Mechanics Society.

In 2021, he took the lead of the Geotechnical Centrifuge Laboratory.
