Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrançois Gallard is an MDO (Multidisciplinary Design Optimization) expert with 11 years of experience applying advanced optimization, adjoint methods and CFD to aeronautical design. Based in Toulouse, he has driven MDO architecture and research at IRT AESE and Airbus, combining PhD-level fluid dynamics and applied math with hands-on software engineering (Python, C++, Fortran) to deliver automated, multipoint and robust optimization workflows. He develops and maintains the open-source MDO framework Gemseo, bridging academic methods and industrial practice for aircraft mission and aerodynamic optimization. His background spans adjoint-based shape optimization, differentiated CAD parametrizations and workflow management, reflecting an unusual mix of deep theory, production software delivery and measurable impact on engineering processes.
