University of Paris-Sud.
Since 2015, she is also the Director of the Théâtre de la Reine Blanche in Paris. She has worked in quantitative fractography, establishing some universal fractal properties of fracture surfaces, a subject pioneered by Benoit Mandelbrot. In fact, the term "fractal" itself was coined by Mandelbrot in 1975, based on the Latin frāctus meaning "broken" or "fractured".
Elisabeth Bouchaud suggested that these fractal properties could be understood in terms of the propagation of the crack front in a disordered environment, which is affected by the vicinity of a depinning transition.
She is a member of Commissariat à l"énergie atomique (Center for Educational Affairs), and works at Ecole Superieure de Chimie et Physique de la Ville de Paris.
