About

A model is not defined by its equations, but by how energy is structured and allowed to flow. I work on physical modeling as a way to make complex systems intelligible. As a Full Professor, my focus is on how models are constructed, interpreted, and used — not just as mathematical objects, but as structured representations of physical systems. What matters to me is the coherence of a model: how its variables, assumptions, and interactions come together to form something that is both meaningful and usable. This becomes particularly critical in multiphysics contexts, where the main difficulty is often not solving equations, but deciding how the system should be represented in the first place. My work sits at the intersection of modeling, simulation, numerical analysis, computer science, and engineering practice — with a strong emphasis on clarity, structure, and interpretation. I use MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape as natural supports for this way of thinking. If you are interested in how models are built, understood, and used in practice, you will likely find something useful here.

Model-Based Design and Multiphysics Modeling Consultant (MATLAB / Simulink / Simscape)

Jan 2012 – Present · 14 yrs 5 mos · Nice

I support engineering teams and educators in structuring and developing physically consistent models for complex systems.
My work focuses on modeling strategy, system representation, and the coherence of multiphysics models across domains.
Using the MATLAB / Simulink ecosystem (Simscape, Stateflow), I help design, structure, and validate models that remain interpretable, scalable, and reliable throughout the engineering lifecycle.
This includes defining appropriate modeling abstractions, making assumptions explicit, and ensuring that models remain meaningful beyond numerical results.
My work focuses on modeling strategy, model architecture, and the effective coupling of physical domains — bridging engineering fundamentals with practical simulation workflows.

Head of Systems Engineering Oral Examination – CCINP (French National Engineering Entrance Exam)

Jan 2007 – Present · 19 yrs 5 mos · Paris, Île-de-France, France

I lead the Systems Engineering oral examination for the CCINP national competitive exam, which recruits more than 6,000 candidates each year into over 40 public engineering schools.
This role involves designing and evaluating assessments focused on modeling, system analysis, and the ability to understand and structure complex engineering systems.
The evaluation emphasizes not only technical correctness, but also clarity of reasoning, modeling choices, and the ability to connect theory with engineering practice.

Full Professor

Jan 2000 – Present · 26 yrs 5 mos · Région de Nice, France

Full Professor – Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering & Multiphysics Modeling
I teach and train future engineers in mechanical systems, electrical systems, control, and system-level modeling.
My teaching emphasizes a physics-based and model-based approach, where students learn to understand, structure, and simulate complex systems rather than simply apply tools.
A central focus is placed on how models are constructed and interpreted, and how their structure impacts their behavior and usefulness in engineering practice.
I use MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape as natural supports to develop this way of thinking.
