Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRachid Touzani is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at Université Clermont Auvergne with over three decades of experience in mathematical modelling, algorithm design and numerical simulation of industrial processes. He leads projects that bridge rigorous analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations with practical software development, including the open-source finite element library OFELI. His expertise spans scientific computing, object-oriented implementation of numerical methods, and applied simulation in fluid flow, reservoir engineering and eddy current problems. Prior roles at EPFL focused on eddy current and magnetohydrodynamics simulations, reflecting a long track record of translating complex physical models into robust computational tools. Based in Clermont-Ferrand, he combines deep theoretical training (PhD-level) with hands-on consulting for industry software, making him a rare blend of mathematician, developer and applied engineer. An understated strength is his sustained commitment to open-source infrastructure that enables reproducible, extensible solutions for PDE-based engineering challenges.
