Director of CEMEF - Full Professor at Mines Paris PSL - ERC CoG CURE - ERC PoC VRAI
Elie Hachem is a Professor of Fluid Mechanics and Applied Mathematics at Mines Paris - PSL and has led the High-Performance Computing and Fluid Mechanics (CFL) research group at the Center for Materials Forming (CEMEF, CNRS/Mines Paris - PSL) since 2014.
His research focuses on the development of advanced numerical methods for fluid mechanics. These methods combine anisotropic mesh adaptation, immersion methods, and finite element methods stabilized by the variational multiscale approach for the design and analysis of complex systems in various fields: aerothermal, multiphase, aerodynamic, fluid-structure interaction, and complex fluids.
After completing his PhD at Mines Paris in 2009, which was awarded two prizes (SMAI/GMANI and Eccomas), he joined CEMEF as a lecturer and researcher. In 2012, he undertook a long-term research stay at Stanford University as an assistant professor, working on numerical methods for fluid-structure interaction. In 2014, he established and led the CFL research group at CEMEF. In 2017, he was awarded the ANR-funded "Infinity" Industrial Chair, a research group of 12 French companies focused on the simulation of turbulent multiphase flows with phase change and boiling. In 2018, he initiated a broad academic partnership through the CARNOT MINES Institute, creating MINDS: Mines Initiative for Numeric and Data Sciences, which unites 15 research centers to accelerate the convergence of high-performance computing and data science. Elie Hachem has received numerous professional and academic awards including: the IBM Faculty Award (2015), the Atos Joseph-Fourier Award (2019) for the best team in high-performance computing, and the IACM Fellow Award (2020) in numerical mechanics.
