RESEARCH
My research interests are nonlinear
PDEs, with three main applications:
Photonics in ionized plasmas:
- Existence and uniqueness of solutions to the equation of radiative
transfer coupled with hydrodynamics
- Diffusion limit for radiative transfer equation and boundary layer problems
The modelling of solids:
- Thermodynamic limit (in a periodic or non periodic setting, and
in a deterministic or stochastic setting)
- Discrete to continuum problems (link between atomistic
models and nonlinear elasticity)
- "orbital free" type models in solids (for electronic structure
calculations)
- Models coupling discrete and continuum models
Bose-Einstein condensates, with in particular superfluidity
- Flow of a condensate around an obstacle
- Fast rotating condensates: nucleation of vortices and Abrikosov
lattices.
