Vanessa Mattesi

Vanessa Mattesi is a Researcher affiliated with the Inria Team MAGIQUE-3D and CERFACS. She holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Pau and the Adour Region (2011-2014), advised by Sébastien Tordeux. Her postdoctoral research focuses on multiscale modeling of wave propagation in complex media, with emphasis on numerical methods like Trefftz discontinuous Galerkin and boundary element approaches.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics (2011-2014), University of Pau
• M.Sc. in Mathematical Engineering (2011), University of Toulouse III

Research Interests: Her work centers on wave propagation phenomena, particularly in heterogeneous media. Key areas include:

• High-order numerical methods for Helmholtz and acoustic equations
• Equivalent source modeling of small heterogeneities
• Domain decomposition and absorbing boundary conditions

Her methods integrate discontinuous Galerkin formulations with boundary element techniques for enhanced accuracy in complex geometries.

Grants & Activities: Member of Inria Bordeaux-Sud Ouest committee. Active contributor to conferences such as ACOMEN (2017), EAGE (2016), and Waves (2013).

Labs/Teams: MAGIQUE-3D project team (Inria) and CERFACS collaborative research groups.
