Document:
I am teaching analysis and numerical analysis for engineers and mathematicians at bachelor and master levels.
I am developing numerical algorithms for complex free surface flows. Another topic of interest is the development of adaptive finite elements techniques, based on a posteriori error estimates (academic and/or industrial collaborations). I am also involved in the modeling of aluminum reduction cells, in collaboration with Jacques Rappaz.
- Simulation numerique de l'electrolyse de l'aluminium, collaboration with RioTintoAlcan Saint Jean de Maurienne.
- Numerical Simulation of 3D impulse Waves, Swiss National Fund, http://p3.snf.ch/project-143470, collaboration with VAW ETHZ, R. Boes and W. Hager.
- Bedrock estimation of glaciers from top surface measurements, collaboration with VAW ETHZ, M. Funk.
- Multiphase and multiphysics free surface flows, Commission pour la Technique et l'Innovation, collaboration with Ycoorsystem Sierre.
- Reduced basis fast and accurate simulation algorithms to new industrial applications for CAE, Commission pour la Technique et l'Innovation, collaboration with Akselos PSE.
Here is my most recent CV.
I am the current President of APEL.
