I am currently a researcher at NAVIER laboratory and
Professor at Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées.
I am a member of the MATHERIALS
project-team, at INRIA (I was a
member of the MICMAC project-team).
I defended my habilitation thesis on October 17th, 2011
(abstract, manuscript ; see also
here). Title : Mathematical and numerical study of some models in multiscale simulation of materials.
During the year 2004-2005, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for
Mathematics and its Applications (IMA, part of the University of
Minnesota, Minneapolis). I participated in the thematic year on Mathematics of Materials and
Macromolecules : Multiple Scales, Disorder, and Singularities.
I defended my PhD thesis on August 31st, 2004
(abstract, ps.gz (862 Ko) or pdf (2.5 Mo) file.
Title : Molecular and multiscale methods for the numerical
simulation of materials.
Supervisors : Claude Le
Bris (CERMICS) and Yvon
Maday (Laboratoire
Jacques-Louis Lions, University Paris 6).
My resume (pdf file).
Research themes :
- Numerical methods for stochastic homogenization (variance reduction, weakly stochastic problems), numerical homogenization (MsFEM approach).
- Methods and algorithms for molecular dynamics (effective dynamics, reduction of dimension, multiscale-in-time problems, parareal algorithms, highly oscillatory Hamiltonians, sampling).
- Numerical analysis of micro-macro models for solids, coupling
an atomistic model with a continuum mechanics model (variational problems, coarse-graining, finite temperature).
Collaborations with the Molecular and
Multiscale Modelling team of the CERMICS.
