About me

I am Director of the CNRS National Institute for Mathematical Sciences and their Interactions (INSMI) since August 2021. I am currently seconded to the CNRS as a Senior Researcher and member of the Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse - UMR 5219. My research topics concern mathematical and numerical analysis as well as scientific computing. I am particularly interested in the derivation of accurate and efficient numerical schemes to compute solutions to partial differential dispersive equations. One of my other favorative topic of research concerns analysis of transparent and absorbing boundary conditions.

I was head of CIMI LabEx, International Center of Mathematics and Computer Science of Toulouse from 2014 to 2021.
