Biography

I’m an Associate Professor in the engineering school INSA Hauts-de-France at the Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (UPHF). I’m a graduate of Pierre and Marie Curie University (UPMC) in Paris where I studied mechanical engineering and applied numerical methods. I received my Ph.D in fluid mechanics from the University of Nantes in 2002. My research interests deal with scientific computing and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with emphasis on turbulence modeling (RANS, LES) and control, swirling flows, wall bounded flows and heat and mass transfer.
