معرفی
Alexandre Fournier is a Professor of Geophysics at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP), where he leads the Geologic Fluid Dynamics research group. He serves as the scientific manager of IPGP's shared HPC and data processing service (S-CAPAD) and coordinates the MOOC 'Our Planet'. From 2016 to 2020, he headed the STPE and GGG master's programs. His research spans Earth's and planetary dynamos, fluid dynamics in planetary settings, inverse problems, data science, and numerical methods for geophysical applications.
He completed his Accreditation to Supervise Research at Paris-Diderot University (2012), PhD in Geosciences at Princeton University (2003), DEA in internal geophysics at IPGP (1998), and Master's in Physics at ENS de Lyon (1998). His students include Elisabeth Canet, Sabrina Sanchez, Marie Bocher, Guillaume Pichon, Venkatesh Gopinath, Thijs Franken, Marie Troyano, and Théo Tassin.
His recent articles focus on geodynamo simulations, archaeomagnetic studies, and computational methods for planetary fluid dynamics. Notable collaborations include Julien Aubert, Thomas Gastine, and Yves Gallet. His work emphasizes high-performance computing, data assimilation, and applications to Earth and planetary systems.
