Nicole Spillane

Nicole Spillane is a Researcher in the Department of Applied Mathematics at École Polytechnique, France. Her work focuses on numerical methods for solving large-scale systems, particularly domain decomposition techniques and preconditioning strategies. She has contributed significantly to robust solvers for symmetric positive definite problems and high-performance computing applications in engineering contexts.

Her research addresses challenges in parallel algorithms, industrial applications (e.g., aerospace structural analysis), and adaptive methods for non-symmetric systems. Key contributions include algebraic preconditioner designs and coarse space enrichment techniques within the Schwarz framework.

Publications span 2011–2023, with notable works on robust domain decomposition methods, multipreconditioned conjugate gradient algorithms, and applications to industrial-scale structural mechanics problems.
