Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRomain Teyssier is a computational astrophysicist and Professor in Astrophysical Sciences with 12+ years of experience running and developing large-scale simulations of cosmology, galaxy and star formation on global HPC platforms. He is the main author of the widely used RAMSES adaptive mesh refinement code and specializes in AMR for hyperbolic conservation laws, radiation hydrodynamics, self-gravitating magnetized flows and performance tuning with MPI/OpenMP/GPGPU. His career spans leadership roles in academia and national labs, including directing the Institute for Computational Science at Zurich and leading the COAST computational group at CEA. Based in New York, he combines deep theoretical training (PhD Paris VII, École Polytechnique) with hands-on code design for community-scale simulations and consortium science (Euclid). An uncommon strength is his sustained focus on implicit solvers and radiative transfer techniques that bridge numerical methods and observationally relevant predictions.
