Together with Ludovic Métivier, we propose a 6 months Master internship to explore the use of Weak metrics for gradient descent in seismic imaging by 1D full waveform inversion. See here for details. If you are interested in joining our group in Lille, please contact me!


Short bio


Since 2015, I work at Inria Université de Lille, first as a research scientist than since October 2021 as a senior researcher. I serve as head of the Inria project team RAPSODI since June 2022.

I am also affiliated with the Laboratoire Paul Painlevé (UMR CNRS 8524), which
is the mathematics departments of the University of Lille.

Prior to this, I defended my PhD thesis in 2008 in Marseille under the supervision of Thierry Gallouët. Then from 2009 to 2015, I was a tenured assistant professor at University Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC, Paris, now part of Sorbonne University).

Research interests


I am interested in the modelling, the analysis and the numerical approximation of problems governed by partial differential equations arising in physics and biology.

See here for a short but relevant description of my motivation for maths.
