About me

I’m a Ph.D. student in Mathematics, under the supervision of François Vilar & Fabien Marche at Institut Montpelliérain Alexander Grothendieck (IMAG - UMR 5149).

I’m also a teaching assistant for the Department of Mathematics at Montpellier Faculty of Sciences & Polytech Montpellier Engineering School.

Research interests

During my thesis, I design and implement arbitrary-order methods for partial differential equations arising in the modeling of water waves and wave–structure interactions. For instance, one of the systems I have studied extensively is the nonlinear shallow water equations (NSW), which represent a nonlinear hyperbolic system with source term:

$$ \begin{cases} \partial_t \eta + \nabla_{\mathbf{x}} \cdot \mathbf{q} = 0, \\ \partial_t \mathbf{q} + \nabla_{\mathbf{x}} \cdot \left( \mathbf{u} \otimes \mathbf{q} + \frac{g\eta}{2}(\eta - 2b)\mathbb{I}_2 \right) = -g\eta \nabla_{\mathbf{x}} b, \end{cases} \nonumber $$

where $\eta$ is water total elevation, $\mathbf{q}=(q_x,q_y)^T$ is the horizontal discharge, and $\mathbf{B} = (0, -g\eta \nabla_{\mathbf{x}} b)^T$ the topography source term. Visitors can find some numerical results and simulation in Softwares.

More generally, I am interested in modeling and numerical analysis of partial differential equations (PDEs), and their applications to physics problems, mainly fluid mechanics.
