À propos de Hugo

[EN] About me

🔎 I help companies and research teams turn complex scientific models into fast, actionable tools.

👨🏼‍💻 As a freelance, I focus on two key bottlenecks:
  • Speeding up long numerical simulations from hours to seconds using surrogate models
  • Calibrating complex physical models with thousands of parameters automatically from data

I combine Machine Learning and Physics to deliver solutions that are both fast, reliable and usable in practice.

🎓 During my PhD, I developed a Physics-Informed Machine Learning algorithm capable of calibrating a fluid dynamics model with 1000+ parameters in 30 seconds, instead of 5 hours with standard CFD methods, enabling real-time use and large-scale analysis.

[FR] À propos de moi

🔎 J’aide les entreprises et équipes de recherche à transformer des modèles scientifiques complexes en outils rapides et exploitables.

👨🏼‍💻 En freelance, je me concentre sur deux verrous majeurs :
  • Accélérer les simulations numériques longues de plusieurs heures à quelques secondes grâce à des modèles de substitution (surrogate models)
  • Calibrer des modèles physiques complexes avec des milliers de paramètres automatiquement à partir des données

Je combine le Machine Learning et la physique pour proposer des solutions à la fois rapides, fiables et utilisables en pratique.

🎓 Durant ma thèse, j’ai développé un algorithme de Physics-Informed Machine Learning capable de calibrer un modèle de mécanique des fluides avec plus de 1000 paramètres en 30 secondes, contre 5 heures avec des méthodes CFD classiques, rendant ainsi possible une utilisation de ce modèle en temps réel et des analyses à grande échelle.

    PhD in Applied Mathematics | Physics-Informed Machine Learning for Flood Modeling

    I’m developing Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and other Physics-Informed Machine Learning architectures for high-dimensional data assimilation applied to the Shallow Water Equations (SWE) and other hydraulic models, using PyTorch.
    My research bridges Machine Learning and physics-based modeling to improve flood simulations, parameter estimation, and model calibration in complex spatio-temporal domains.

    This work lies at the intersection of Scientific Machine Learning (SciML), fluid dynamics, and applied mathematics, focusing on inverse problems, numerical simulations, and the design of efficient neural architectures for the solution of partial differential equations (PDEs).

    Supervised by J. Monnier (INSA Toulouse / IMT), P.-A. Garambois (INRAE Aix-en-Provence), and R. Bouclier (INSA Toulouse / ICA).
