[Recruitment]
If you are a motivated student with a strong interest in research willing to work on real world problem (managing real dataset) do not hesitate to contact me for possible master's thesis, internships, PhD thesis and postdocs. Also have a look here
- My research -
I do mathematical-computational engineering for Geosciences, more specifically, my research encompass black-box optimisation problems, applied to 4D Seismic History Matching and CO2 storage. I am developing tools and methods to assimilate multi-sources data into the update of the model, with regards of the uncertainty. My main concern is how to realize this integration with robustness, accuracy and as fast as possible given the dataset (real dataset driven). The main challenge being working with real world dataset.
