I am researcher and professor at the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, and the head of the applied mathematics department CERMICS.
I am a member of the Molecular
and
Multiscale
Modelling group at CERMICS and of the Matherials project-team at INRIA.
Here is my cv (pdf).
I spent the 2019-2020 academic year in the mathematics department of Imperial College of London, in the Abraham de Moivre International Researche Laboratory.
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.
