Goudon, Thierry was born on January 1, 1969 in Aix en Provence, Bouches du Rhones, France. Son of Jean-Pierre Goudon and Andree Vidal.
Doctor of Philosophy, University Bordeaux 1, Bordeaux France, 1997. Habilitation à Dirijer les Recherches, University Nice, 2003.
He works in applied mathematics, with interest in the study of Partial Differential Equations motivated from physics. He has made contributions on kinetic theory, which corresponds to a description of matter in terms of statistical physics. The Boltzmann equation for gas dynamics is a typical example of this activity.
The kinetic framework also arises in many other fields: neutron transport, radiative transfer, and biology.
He is interested in asymptotic analysis, including the study of hydrodynamic regimes and homogenization theory, establishing relationships between microscopic and macroscopic descriptions. He also works on fluid mechanics, both as regards the analysis of the equations and also the design of numerical methods for computing the solutions.
Currently he holds a Senior Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Automatique Researcher (Directeur de recherche) position at Sophia Antipolis. He is the head of the team COFFEE devoted to Complex Flows Foreign Energy and Environment.
Thierry Goudon completed his undergraduate studies in Aix-en-Provence and in Bordeaux, where he attended the Matmeca program
He obtained the Doctor of Philosophy degree under supervision of Kamal Hamdache in 1997 at University Bordeaux 1. He joined the University of Nice as Assistant Professor (Maitre de conferences). He obtain the Habilitation to conduct research in 2001 and he became Full Professor at the University of Lille in 2003.
Since 2008, he has held the pots of a Senior Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Automatique Researcher, in Lille until 2011, then in Sophia Antipolis.
Member of Society Math Appliquees Industrielles.
Married Patricia Goudon.
