Experience

PhD Fellow

Acumes team, Inria

Oct 2018 – Present Sophia-Antipolis, France

Development of a Discontinuous Galerkin solver for compressible flows with moving boundaries, using a high-order geometry representation derived from Computer Aided Design. The proposed methodology is implemented in the open source platform Igloo.

Supervisor: Régis Duvigneau

Predoctoral Research Fellow

Memphis team, Inria

Apr 2018 – Sep 2018 Bordeaux, France

Development and validation of an immersed boundary solver for turbulent flows on parallel octree grids. Application to aeroelastic simulations of wind turbine blades.
