Main research interests:
My traditional research areas concern the study of the level sets of
Ginzburg-Landau energies (and of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange
equations)
and that of symmetry and monotonicity of elliptic partial differential
equations on manifolds.
Mathematical biology has progressively become my
main research subject. My work in this area is mostly relative to the
mathematical modeling of actin cable contraction in morphogenesis and
wound-healing.
More recently, I became interested in the mathematical study of
bacterial population dynamics and movement, in tumor growth models and in vector borne diseases.
Main scientific administration activities at present:
Member of the Interdisciplinary committee (CID 51) of the Comité National de la Recherche Scientifique.
Co-organization of the Groupe
de travail Maths Bio et Santé.
Person in charge of the Mathématiques Appliquées aux Sciences Biologiques et Biomédicales Master 2 program of UPMC.
