Leila Sauvage graduated from the Book and paper Conservation programme of the Paris-Sorbonne University in 2010. Since then, she specialised in the conservation and analysis of friable media drawings, in various European museums (Rijksmuseum, Louvre Museum, Musee Marmottan-Monet). This practical experience inspires her to develop her activities around 3 axis: applied research in conservation, multidisciplinary projects and mechanics of cultural heritage as diagnosis tool. Since 2014, besides her conservation activities, she has been doing a PhD at the Technical University of Delft, in the Aerospace Engineering faculty. With an experimental and holistic approach, she studies the fatigue behaviour of friable media subjected to vibrations.
