I am a CNRS researcher (chargé de recherche) in the POEMS team (CNRS, Inria, ENSTA Paris, UMR 7231) at ENSTA Paris (Palaiseau, France), member of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, since October 2016. Before, I have been a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium), Rice University (Houston, TX, USA) and VirginiaTech (Blacksburg, VA, USA). I obtained my PhD at the Université de Liège (Belgium) in 2013.

Open PostDoc position (12+ months) on the acceleration of a HDG finite element solver for time-harmonic wave problems at POEMS (CNRS, Inria, ENSTA Paris)   ⇒ Description   [update: 02/04/2024]

Research interests:

  • Numerical simulation of wave propagation (acoustic, electromagnetic and elastic waves)
  • Absorbing boundary conditions and perfectly matched layers
  • High-order methods, discontinuous finite element methods and domain decomposition methods
  • High performance scientific computing and modern architectures
