Brice PORTELENELLE

Brice PORTELENELLE serves as a Maître de conférences (Assistant Professor) in Applied Mathematics at the University of Technology of Troyes (UTT), France, where he has been a faculty member since September 2020. Affiliated with the GAMMA3 research unit (Automatic Mesh Generation & Advanced Methods), he contributes to UTT's computational mathematics initiatives while teaching core courses in real analysis, linear algebra, algorithmic, and Java programming.

His academic foundation includes a PhD from the University of Lorraine (2016-2019) followed by a temporary teaching and research assistant (ATER) position there (2019-2020). This background established his expertise in computational mathematics before transitioning to his permanent role at UTT.

PORTELENELLE's research program centers on Computational Fluid Dynamics, Numerical Analysis, and Discrete/Computational Differential Geometry. He develops innovative numerical techniques for fluid flow simulations, with particular emphasis on cut-cell methods, mesh generation algorithms, and geometric discretization. His work addresses critical challenges in accurately modeling diffusion processes and designing stable numerical schemes for complex geometries like the Cubed Sphere.

His publication record demonstrates impactful contributions to computational mathematics, including significant papers in Computers & Fluids (2019) on diffusion discretization techniques and the Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (2018) on spherical quadrature rules. These works reflect his consistent focus on improving numerical accuracy and stability for engineering applications.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Active membership in GAMMA3 research unit advancing mesh generation methodologies
• Peer-reviewed publications in high-impact computational mathematics journals
• Integration of research into teaching of advanced mathematical methods

As a faculty member, PORTELENELLE advises graduate students in computational mathematics and participates in research projects within GAMMA3. His work connects with broader initiatives in computational engineering at UTT, though specific grant details aren't publicly documented. The GAMMA3 unit provides essential infrastructure for developing and testing advanced numerical algorithms, supporting both academic research and industrial collaborations.

His research trajectory shows consistent development from PhD studies through independent faculty work, with increasing focus on geometric aspects of fluid dynamics. Future directions likely include extending his mesh generation techniques to multi-physics problems and complex industrial geometries, leveraging UTT's computational resources and industry partnerships.
