Aurélie Levillain is an associate professor (Maître de conférences) at Lyon 1 Université Claude Bernard (France), conducting her research at the laboratory of biomechanics and impact mechanics. After obtaining an engineering degree and a master degree in biomechanics from Ecole Centrale Lyon in 2013, she received her PhD degree in biomechanics in 2016. She then held two postdoctoral positions in the department of bioengineering at Imperial College London, before being awarded a Marie Sklodovska Curie fellowship in 2020 at Univ Lyon-Inserm. Her research interests include mechanical characterisation of biological tissue, finite element modelling for bone fracture prediction, and implant biomechanics. Besides her research, she is in charge of outreach activities in the laboratory, mainly targeting underrepresented groups in STEM. She has been an ESB member since 2016. She joined the scientific communication team of ESB led by Ilse Jonkers from 2021 to 2024 and then joined ESB council in 2026.
