Je suis chercheur et professeur à l'Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées - Institut Polytechnique de Paris (ENPC-IPP).

Le CERMICS a le plaisir d'annoncer l'ouverture de la bourse postdoctorale Cauchy. Veuillez consulter la page web dédiée pour plus d'informations.

Je suis membre de l'équipe projet Matherials commune à l'Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées et à INRIA.

Voici mon cv (pdf).

J'ai passé l'année 2019-2020 à Imperial College of London, au département de mathématiques et à l'UMI Abraham de Moivre.

J'ai soutenu mon Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches le 3 juin 2009 (résumé, mémoire). Sujet : Analyse mathématique et numérique de modèles pour les matériaux, de l'échelle microscopique à l'échelle macroscopique.

Pendant l'année 2004-2005, j'étais en post-doc au Centre de Recherches Mathématiques à l'Université de Montréal, dans le cadre d'une année thématique sur les mathématiques de la modélisation multiéchelle et stochastique.

J'ai soutenu ma thèse le 21 juin 2004 (résumé, mémoire). Sujet : Modèles multi-échelles pour les fluides viscoélastiques. Direction de thèse : Benjamin Jourdain et Claude Le Bris.

Centres d'intérêts principaux

Modèles micro-macro pour les fluides viscoélastiques (modèle de dumbbells, méthode CONNFFESSIT, méthodes de réduction de variance, estimées d'entropie).
Ecoulements à surface libre et magnétohydrodynamique. Application à la simulation des cuves d'électrolyse de l'aluminium (méthode Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian, moving contact line problem).
