I am an assistant professor at the Institute of Energy and Environment of HES-SO Valais-Wallis. I am specialized in solving complex real-world problems combining physical models, statistics, data, and machine learning (what else?)
Research
Since June 2024, I am responsible of the STREAM partnership, which aims is to foster innovation and digitalisation in water management. I am also collaborating at Hydro Alps, another partnership focusing in applied research for hydroelectricity.
Teaching
In the School of Engineering, I am involved in three BsC : Energy & Environment Engineering, Computer science and communication systems and Life Sciences Engineering.
See Teaching for a list of the given classes
Bio
As a numerical mathematician and computer scientist, I previously worked on multi resolution algorithms and data assimilation for physical oceanography. I also have experiences in machine learning and evolutionary models for computational biology.
PhD in Applied Mathematics, Grenoble University, AirSea Inria team (former MOISE)
Engineer in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, ENSIMAG, Grenoble
In 2013, I co-coordinated the project Maths for the Earth, which brought together researchers from various disciplines to help the ANR define its action plan for addressing environmental challenges through mathematical approaches.
Interests
I love to adjust the abstract world of the mathematics to realistic constraints while creating links and transfer between disciplines and researchers. Studying and working in a transdisciplinary environment has always been as much a challenge as an evidence for me, since my main driver is helping progress in natural science.
