Biography

Thierry Coupez is a researcher specializing in computational fluid dynamics and high-performance computing methods. His work focuses primarily on developing innovative methods for the numerical simulation of complex flows, particularly through the use of stabilized finite element methods and multiscale approaches (Variational MultiScale, VMS). His expertise covers the modeling of fluid-structure interactions, multiphase flows, and anisotropic mesh adaptation for complex geometries, including those derived from raw data such as 3D point clouds. His research applies to a variety of fields, such as offshore wind energy, high-Reynolds-number flows, and direct simulation from images or computer-aided design (CAD) data. Thierry Coupez has also contributed to the development of massively parallel methods for scientific computing, enabling very large-scale simulations on supercomputers.
