I am currently researcher at CERMICS and professor at the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech.

I am a member of the Molecular and Multiscale Modelling group at CERMICS and of the Matherials project-team at INRIA.

I am the coordinator of the ERC project MSMath.

Here is my cv (pdf).

I defended my habilitation thesis on 3rd June 2009 (abstract, manuscript). Title: Mathematical and numerical analysis of some models for materials, from the microscopic scale to the macroscopic scale.

During year 2004-2005, I had a post-doc position at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques at the University of Montreal, in the context of a special year about the Mathematics of Stochastic and Multiscale Modeling.

I defended my PhD thesis on 21st June 2004 (abstract, manuscript). Title: Multiscale models for viscoelastic fluids. PhD supervisors: Benjamin Jourdain and Claude Le Bris.

Research interests
