GUILLAUME DABLIN
EDUCATION
- MSc. in Mechanical engineering, Specialized in Design - University of Technology of Compiègne, France
ABOUT
My name is Guillaume Dablin; I'm from Paris, France. I've always been curious, drawn to technology and innovation. I have a practical mindset and entrepreneurial energy. Being able to take part in deep tech development is what drove me to this PhD position after my engineering degree at UTC, Compiegne. The green target and real-life application are what drive me through this research project.

Objectives
- A SAW Transponder as a Versatile Solution for Structural Health Monitoring Applications.
- Proof-of-concept, A SAW/CNT hybrid solution for the wireless and passive detection of cracks in composite materials.
03
Expected results:
- A validated CNT‑reinforced composite material, integrated with a passive SAW transponder solution suitable for structural‑health monitoring of wind turbines blades.
- A working laboratory prototype of a wireless early crack‑detection system that operates without onboard electronics.
04
Planned secondments:
WUT, A. Boczkowska, months 12-15 (4 months): support to achieve connection between the CNT-filler material and the reflectors, inside the SAW-RFID Tag housings.
BARI, F. Ciampa, months 24-27 (4 months): field tests of the solution (i.e. test of one piece of CFRP/GFRP
composite panel with CNT-filler, equipped with a SAW-RFID Tag for wireless read-out of the electrical properties of the CNT-filler material).
TUD, R. Groves: months 29-32 (4 months): field testing on the leading edge of a wind turbine blade.
