Philippe Poncet

Philippe Poncet is a Professor at the Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour (UPPA) and Vice-President for Digital Environment. He leads the Numerical Methods and Complex Fluids team at the Laboratory of Mathematics and their Applications (LMAP). His expertise spans particle/vortex methods, high-performance computing, and applications in geoscience, microfluidics, and biomathematics, with a focus on reactive flows and porous media.

Poncet's research integrates numerical analysis with practical challenges in environmental and biomedical engineering. Key interests include Lagrangian methods for fluid dynamics, optimization algorithms, pore-scale modeling, and cystic fibrosis biomechanics. His work bridges theoretical mathematics and industrial-scale simulations.

Recent publications demonstrate advances in pore-scale dissolution modeling, Bayesian neural networks for inverse problems, and viscous flow simulations. His articles consistently address multi-scale challenges in geosciences and biomedicine using innovative computational frameworks.

He has led significant projects including the ANR-funded MucoReaDy (mucus dynamics in respiratory diseases) and MicroMineral (CO₂ mineral storage). These collaborations involve multidisciplinary teams addressing environmental and health-related fluid dynamics.
