Professor in the
Applied
Math Dept of the National Institute of Advanced Technologies
Member of the Joint Research Unit CNRS-ENSTA-INRIA UMR 7231 POEMS.
A brief curriculum
I got my
PhD in 1992 in applied mathematics, and
defended
my 'Habilitation a Diriger les Recherches' in 1998 in mathematics. In
both
cases, I graduated from the Paris VI University.
Between
Oct. 1990 and Sep. 1993, I studied parallel
preconditioning
within the Parallel Computing Project at the Limeil-Valenton Centre of
the French Nuclear Agency (CEA). Starting in Oct. 1993, I spent one
year
as a post-doctoral fellow at UCLA, where I studied graph partitioning.
Then, I spent three additional years at the Limeil-Valenton Centre: I
worked
on mesh partitioning and the parallelization of codes, and on the
discretization
of Maxwell's equations.
Since Sep.
1997, I have been working in
the Applied Math Dept of ENSTA.
Associate Professor, Ecole Polytechnique, 1999-2000.
Guest Professor (Graduate Studies), University of Houston, 2002.
Guest Professor (Graduate Studies), University
of Strasbourg, 2002.
Associate Professor, Ecole Polytechnique, 2005-2007.
Visiting Professor at the Chinese University of Hong
Kong, January-July 2010.
Research topics
Computational electromagnetics, numerical
analysis
of PDEs.
Computation
of
electromagnetic
fields in a cavity, or near an obstacle, with a non-smooth and
non-convex
boundary. The presence of reentrant edges and/or vertices, called
geometrical
singularities, produces intense fields. Mathematically, the fields are
less regular near those singularities, and they require an ad
hoc
discretization method, such as the singular
complement method, or the weighted regularization method.
Related case of domains with a smooth boundary
that includes
"small" rounded corners or edges. In this case, the field is regular,
but it can still be intense. The behavior
of the field has to be
computed (accurately and) carefully near the rounded corners or edges.
Propagation of fields in chiral media, or at the
interface between
meta-materials and classical dielectric media. Obtaining models
that are well-posed mathematically has been recently completed. The
study of the regularity of the electromagnetic fields is under way. The
next step will be to build algorithms to capture numerically the fields.
New discretization
techniques for linear elasticity problems, based on a direct approximation of the stress tensor.
