Emmanuel Grenier

Emmanuel Grenier (born November 3, 1970 in Château-Thierry , Département Aisne ) is a French mathematician .

In 1988 he received the bronze medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad . Grenier studied from 1990 to 1994 at the École normal supérieure and received his doctorate in 1995 from the University of Paris VI with Yann Brenier ( Limites singulières oscillantes en mécanique des fluides et physique des plasmas ). From 1994 he was Chargé de Recherches of the CNRS at the University of Paris VI. After completing his habilitation in 1998, he became a professor at the UMPA (Unité de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées of the École normal supérieure de Lyon ), of which he was director from 2002 to 2005. From 1999 to 2011 he was also a professor at the École polytechnique .

Grenier deals with hydrodynamics ( limit transition from the Navier-Stokes equation to the Euler equations , limit value of the large Coriolis force with applications in meteorology and plasma physics) and models in biology (cancer, viruses, neurosciences, where he, among other things, strokes, depression and Migraines modeled mathematically). In this context, he headed the research focus Applications of Mathematics in Biology and Medicine (Mabem) at the CNRS from 2006 to 2010. He also applies mathematics in research contracts with industry, for example with L'Oréal and Sanofi-Pasteur .

In 2000 he received the EMS Prize and the Prix Peccot des Collège de France . In 2005 he received the Prix Annales Henri Poincaré. In 2009 he received the Areva Research Prize and in 2010 the Prix Blaise Pascal of the Académie des Sciences .
