Chair of Applied Mathematics, National University of Ireland (NUI), Galway, Ireland
Summary:
I am a French Applied Mathematician with a background in Physics and Engineering. I joined NUI Galway in 2010 to conduct research, lecture and contribute to the running of the School of Mathematics. Currently, my research interests are mostly in the field of biomechanics. Basically I try to model, describe and predict the mechanical behaviour of soft solids such as gels and soft tissues, including the skin and the brain. I rely on experimental data to guide me, coming from mechanical tests or acoustic measurements.
I am also an Adjunct Professor of Solid Mechanics at Zhejiang University, Adjunct Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University College Dublin, and a member of the International Brain Mechanics and Trauma Lab. Previously, I worked successively as a Junior Marie Curie Fellow in Mathematical Physics at University College Dublin; as a Visiting Assistant Professor in Mathematics at Texas A&M University, USA; as a Charge de Recherche with the French National Research Agency CNRS at the Institut d'Alembert, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France, and as a Senior Marie Curie Fellow in Mechanical Engineering at University College Dublin.
