Mathematical and Mechanical Modeling with Data Interaction in SImulations for Medicine (M3DISIM)
Inria Saclay Ile-de-France Research Center, École Polytechnique

Biography:
Dominique Chapelle graduated from the École Polytechnique before studying engineering with the Corps des Ponts et Chaussées . He then went on to do his Masters at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), where he first became interested in research. He undertook his PhD at the Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chaussées , in Applied Mathematics for mechanical and civil engineering. That was when he first worked with researchers at Inria. After completing his thesis in 1997, he joined the Inria Rocquencourt Research Centre where he began his career as a young researcher. In 2000, Dominique Chapelle formed the MACS team, involved in every stage of its set up and thereafter in its three assessment reviews. In 2004, he decided to leave the Corps des Ponts et Chaussées to become an Inria Research Director. From 2004 to 2009, Dominique Chapelle also held the post of Deputy Head of Science at Inria Rocquencourt. Over the years, the MACS team focused more and more on modelling for medicine, particularly in developing models of the heart. At the same time, plans were underway to open the Inria Saclay – Île-de-France Research Centre. Convinced that the scientific ecosystem of the Plateau de Saclay held immense advantages for French research, Dominique Chapelle wanted to be involved in the adventure and he and his team moved to Saclay in 2012. Their arrival at the Inria Saclay – Île-de-France Research Centre opened up new collaborations relating to the new subjects studied by the MACS team, which came to the end of its run soon after. It was succeeded by the M3DISIM team, a joint team with the Laboratoire de Mécanique des Solides (Ecole Polytechnique, CNRS) .
