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.

Université de Strasbourg, October 2002.
Associate Professor, Ecole Polytechnique, 2005-2007.
Visiting Professor at the Chinese University of Hong
Kong, China, January-July 2010.
Guest Professor (Graduate Studies), Universidade
de Santiago de Compostela, Spain, March 2011.
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 (SCM), the Fourier singular
complement method (FSCM), or the weighted
regularization method (WRM). 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 at the
interface between
meta-materials and classical dielectric media. Obtaining models
that are well-posed mathematically is a preliminary step. In particular, one can build configurations for which the
problem is ill-posed. The
scalar case (TE or TM mode)
has recently been solved with the help of the T-coercivity theory. The
use of the same theory in the general case is in progress. The
next step will be to build algorithms to capture numerically the fields: results have already been obtained in the scalar case.
New discretization
techniques for linear elasticity problems, based on a direct approximation of the stress tensor.
