ON WEDNESDAY 7

• Francisco CHINESTA

Professor
ENSAM Institute of Tehcnology (CNRS, Arts et Métiers, CNAM) - Paris

Francisco Chinesta is currently full Professor of computational physics at ENSAM Institute of Technology (Paris, France), Honorary Fellow of the “Institut Universitaire de France” – IUF- and Fellow of the Spanish Royal Academy of Engineering. He is the president of the ESI Group scientific committee and director of its scientific department. He was (2008-2012) AIRBUS Group chair professor and since 2013 he is ESI Group chair professor on advanced modeling and simulation of materials, structures, processes and systems. He received many scientific awards (among them the IACM -International Association of Computational Mechanics- Zienkiewicz award (New York, 2018), the ESAFORM award, …) in four different fields: bio-engineering, material forming processes, rheology and computational mechanics (with major contributions in Model Order Reduction and Engineered Artificial Intelligence, both integrated in the so-called Hybrid paradigm of Simulation Based Engineering). He is author of more than 320 papers in peer-reviewed international journals and more than 900 contributions in conferences. He was president of the French association of computational mechanics (CSMA) and is director of the CNRS research group (GdR) on model order reduction techniques in engineering sciences, editor and associate editor of many journals. He received many distinctions, among them the Academic Palms, the French Order of Merit, … in 2018 the Doctorate Honoris Causa at the University of Zaragoza (Spain) and in 2019 the Silver medal from the French CNRS.

• Anthony GRAVOUIL

Professor
Laboratoire LaMCoS (INSA Lyon, CNRS) - Lyon

Anthony Gravouil is Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at INSA LYON, IUF junior member, and conducts his research activities at LaMCoS laboratory. His research activities mainly focus on the development of multiscale numerical models (MNM) for engineering applications under extreme loading. For instance, it consists in efficient and robust methods for the simulation of 3D crack propagation without remeshing (X-FEM) (dynamic crack growth, fatigue crack growth with confined plasticity, tribologic fatigue with contact and friction). More generally, it consists in MNM dedicated to fracture mechanics (mutigrid XFEM), space-time multi-scale models for transient dynamics (space-time multigrids, explicit-implicit co-simulation), reduced order modelling for MNM (a posteriori and a priori quasi-optimal reduced order modelling for 3D fracture mechanics, transient dynamics, frictional problems). Some significant applications are virtual charts for real time parametric studies of welding processes or virtual charts for multi-scale topology optimization of micro-architectured materials. The International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM) awarded him in 2016 in recognition of his contributions in computational mechanics.
