Applied Mathematician

Welcome to my website!

Associate Professor in Applied Mathematics

I am an Associate Professor in Applied Mathematics at the University of Leeds. I completed my PhD in Fluid Dynamics from the University of Toulouse and became a Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Fellow from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 2012. I then held research positions in Physics at UC Berkeley (2012–2014) and in Computational Fluid Dynamics at Imperial College London (2014–2015) before joining the University of Leeds faculty as an Applied Mathematician.

I am fascinated by a range of scientific problems and my research revolves around the use of dynamical systems theory and of numerical methods to explain and control instabilities in fluids, such as transition to turbulence and the formation of patterns at the surface of dry lakes. I have also designed and am running an inter-university competition based on the optimization of Formula One strategies and have coded various machine-learning methods.

You might wonder how to pronounce my name. Here is how, together with some complementary explanations.
