Research

Current research activities
Mathematical methods designed for and applied to real-world problems such as geophysical free-surface fluid flows (water, lava, glaciers etc), hydraulics / hydrology (water fluxes, inundations/floods).
Mathematical modeling (PDE based models), inverse problems, data assimilation, computational sciences, scientific AI, Machine Learning, satellite data.

* Our ANITI PILearnWater chaire (Physics-Informed Learning methods for continental Waters and marine risks) with an academic-industrial consortium.
* Our MathHydroNum project-team.
* Our CNES Tosca project named SWOT-Hydro2-Learning (Learning regionalization of hydrological-hydraulic models and discharge laws over river networks with SWOT and multi-source data assimilation). (2024-28).
* Our ANR project named MUFFINS (2021-25).
