Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrédéric Nataf is a senior research director based in Paris with over 30 years of academic and industrial experience in scientific computing, high-performance computing and inverse problems. He leads the Alpines team (LJLL/INRIA) and has authored 100+ papers and a SIAM book, translating mathematical advances into scalable parallel solvers used in FreeFem++, Feel++ and Code_Aster. His work on HPDDM enabled solving a 3D problem with two billion unknowns in under 200 seconds on a large cluster, reflecting both theoretical depth and production-grade implementation. He has a long record of collaborations and contracts with major industrial players (CEA, EDF, Michelin, Total, IFPEN) and has trained generations of students through graduate courses in domain decomposition and parallel computing. Notably, many of his algorithms are deployed as open libraries, showing a commitment to reproducible, community-impactful research.
