Bio
I’m an Assitant Professor of applied mathematics and fluid dynamics at Arts et Métiers Institute of Technology (Paris, France). I split my time between teaching to (mechanical) engineering students and doing research on topics such as transition to turbulence, flow control and data-driven modelling.
On this site I keep a list of my publications, the courses I teach, the open-source softwares I develop or contribute to, as well as a technical blog.
Selected Projects
PySINDy – Sparse identification of nonlinear dynamical systems from data.
LightKrylov – Implementation of Krylov methods in modern Fortran.
LightConvex – Convex programming in modern Fortran.
stdlib – Community-driven development of a standard library for Fortran.
