Christine Bernardi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christine Bernardi (born May 18, 1955 in Paris ; † March 10, 2018 ) was a French mathematician .

Bernardi studied from 1974 at the École Normale de jeune filles in Paris and obtained her diploma (DEA) in numerical mathematics in 1976. In 1979 she received her doctorate at the University of Paris VI (Thèse de troisième cycle) with a thesis on mixed finite element methods in the Navier-Stokes equation . Then she was at the CNRS (initially Chargé de Recherche, from 1992 research director). 1986 followed the Thèse d'État (contributions to the numerical analysis of non-linear problems). She was at the Jacques Louis Lions Laboratory at Paris VI University. From 2001 to 2005 she was a member of the Scientific Committee (Steering Committee) of the Isaac Newton Institute .

She dealt with numerics of partial differential equations, especially hydrodynamics. The Bernardi-Raugel element in the finite element method is named after her and Geneviève Raugel .

In 1995 she received the Blaise Pascal Prize. In 2008 she gave a plenary lecture at the European Congress of Mathematicians in Amsterdam (From a posteriori analysis to automatic modeling). From 2000 to 2009 she was co-editor of the Journal of Scientific Computing.

She was married and had three children.
