Welcome to my website!

     Currently I'm working at LAMA, University of Savoie as a researcher of CNRS (Chargé de Recherche CNRS).

    I prepared my PhD at CMLA, ENS Cachan. My advisor was Frédéric Dias. The title of my thesis was "Mathematical modelling of tsunami waves".

    The defense of my Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches (HDR) entitled "Mathematical modeling for the environment" will take place at LAMA, University of Savoie on the 3rd December 2010.

NEWS

30/08/2010: Together with my collaborators D. Mitsotakis and X. Gardeil we submitted a new preprint "On the use of finite fault solution for tsunami generation problems". Below there is also an animation which illustrates numerical results from this manuscript.

16/08/2010: I am going to deliver soon at least three talks. The first one will be in September at the NumAn 2010 conference (devoted to two-phase flows), the second one will be in Paris 13 University at the Summer School "Numerical methods for interactions between Sediments & Water" devoted to tsunami waves. I was also invited to give a lecture at the meeting "EDP Normandie" in Caen (28 & 29 October 2010). In this talk we will discuss numerical simulation of a dispersive wave run-up.

15/07/2010: Recently we completely rewrote and resubmitted our paper on powder snow avalanches. It is entitled now "Mathematical modeling of powder-snow avalanche flows".

30/06/2010: "Le Journal du CNRS" N245 contains an article "Les maths à l'écoute de la Terre" partially devoted to our work on tsunami wave modeling and VOLNA code development.

25/05/2010: Talks and photos from our meeting at Wolfgang Pauli Institute in Vienna are available on this web page:

04/05/2010: The Scientific board of University of Savoie gave me an authorization to prepare my Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches (HDR). The defense will take place the 3rd December 2010 at LAMA, University of Savoie

16/02/2010: We are going to organize from 17 to 21 May 2010 a session at Wolfgang Pauli Institute (Vienna) devoted to two-phase and compressible flows. If you would like to participate, please, take a contact with me. This event will be in the spirit of previous September meeting in Vienna.

16/02/2010: During last days we submitted a couple of new papers. The first one describes our code VOLNA for tsunami wave modelling: "The VOLNA code for the numerical modelling of tsunami waves: generation, propagation and inundation". The second paper is more theoretical and deals with application of variational principles to water wave modelling: "Practical use of variational principles for modeling water waves".

28/09/2009: Some photos and talks from our session "Numerical methods for complex fluid flows" at Wolfgang Pauli Institute (Vienna) are available online.

15/09/2009: From 21 to 25 September 2009 we organize a session at Wolfgang Pauli Institute (Vienna) entitled "Numerical methods for complex fluid flows".

30/03/2009: Magazine "La Recherche" (N429, April 2009) published an article about our recent results on mathematical modelling of powder snow avalanches. The preprint of our work can be found here.

01/12/2008: I am going to deliver a talk on numerical modelling of tsunami waves at the workshop "Oceanography and mathematics", Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris, 26 - 28 January 2009

22/10/2008: Our paper "Energy of tsunami waves generated by bottom motion" was accepted to Proceedings of the Royal Society A.

26/06/2008: An article about our recent results on sediments appeared in New Scientist!

TEACHING

In University of Savoie I give practical lessons to students of Licence 3 level on :
When I was at ENS Cachan, I gave essentially practical classes (Travaux Dirigés) for third-year students at the Department of Mathematics, ENS Cachan. These students prepare agrégation (civil service competitive examination for some positions in the public education system). The lectures were given by Frédéric Pascal, Jean-Michel Ghidaglia and Frédéric Dias.

Students use MatLab as programming language for numerical solution of formulated in exercises problems.

I have been assisting in teaching the following subjects: Supervision activities:
