About Thierry Goudon
- Thierry Goudon (born January 1969 in Aix-en-Provence, France) is a French mathematician.
- He works in applied mathematics, with interest in the study of Partial Differential Equations motivated from physics.
- He has made contributions on kinetic theory, which corresponds to a description of matter in terms of statistical physics.
- The Boltzmann equation for gas dynamics is a typical example of this activity.
- The kinetic framework also arises in many other fields: neutron transport, radiative transfer, and biology.
- He is interested in asymptotic analysis, including the study of hydrodynamic regimes and homogenization theory, establishing relationships between microscopic and macroscopic descriptions.
- He also works on fluid mechanics, both as regards the analysis of the equations and also the design of numerical methods for computing the solutions.
- Currently he holds a Senior INRIA Researcher (Directeur de recherche) position at Sophia Antipolis; he is the head of the team COFFEE devoted to Complex Flows For Energy and Environment.
