  5. Member ECMI Educational Committee

  6. Chair of Persyval Lab research action MFA

    Based on high-level research laboratories present at Grenoble in Mathematics, Computer Science, Automatic Control, Signal Processing, and Hardware Architecture, Persyval-lab promotes a holistic approach for developing an ambitious scientific program focused on four research actions conducted by integrated multi-disciplinary small and effective teams.

    The research action “Mathematics: from Fundamentals to Applications” (MFA) aims at better understanding and optimizing the dynamic behavior of complex computational-physical systems.

  7. Head M1 Master program in Applied Mathematics in Grenoble

    Currently, applied mathematics is an area that provides many job opportunities, in industry and in the academic world. There is a great demand for mathematical engineers on topics such as scientific computation, big data analysis, imaging and computer graphics, with applications in many fields such as physics, medicine, biology, engineering, finance, environmental sciences .

📚 My Research
I am an associate professor in Applied Mathematics at Grenoble INP - Ensimag. I perform my research in LJK (Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann) in the EDP team in Partial Differential Equation. I am interested in everything related to computation, from on specific hardware are performing on pseudo-real case, to numerical library and numerical methods.
