Dr. Michaël Mercier-Finidori is a French physicist and lecturer at the University of Corsica Pascal Paoli (UMR CNRS 6134 SPE), renowned for his contributions to the fields of underwater acoustics, ultrasound, group theory, and mathematical physics. He obtained his Ph.D. in Sciences pour l’Environnement from UMR CNRS 6134 SPE in 2002, where he developed a strong foundation in acoustic wave propagation and elastic scattering. Since joining the University of Corsica in 2003, Dr. Mercier-Finidori has actively engaged in both teaching and advanced research, focusing on acoustic scattering phenomena in elliptical geometries and elastic shells. His scholarly output includes six peer-reviewed publications that have collectively garnered 12 citations from 10 documents, with an h-index of 3, reflecting his impactful and specialized work. His recent open-access article, Acoustic scattering by elliptical elastic shells: Exact formalism and physical interpretation (Journal of Sound and Vibration, 2025), exemplifies his analytical rigor and innovative approach to acoustic modeling. Dr. Mercier-Finidori’s research provides valuable insights for applications in sonar technology, materials characterization, and acoustic signal analysis. His sustained academic commitment and theoretical depth underscore his influence in advancing the understanding of elastic wave dynamics in complex geometries.
