Julien FAVIER is a Professor at Aix-Marseille Université, where he directs the M2P2 laboratory and coordinates the H2020 FALCON project on fluid-structure interaction in aeronautics. He also serves as an associate editor for Computers and Fluids . Research Focus: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI), Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), Immersed Boundary Method (IBM), turbulent and compressible flows Applications: Biomedical (aortic valves, mucus transport), aerospace (hypersonic flows), and mechanical systems (rupture/fragmentation) Scientific Contributions include: Developing stable explicit FSI solvers for LBM-IBM coupling Modeling metachronal wave dynamics in cilia arrays Advancing compressible LBM with rotating overset grids Studying drag reduction via flexible filament coatings Pioneering non-Newtonian fluid transport simulations Technical Expertise spans: Multi-grid and dual-time stepping techniques GPU acceleration for heterogeneous architectures Viscoelastic and Herschel-Bulkley flow modeling Validation of immersed boundary methods for turbulent flows
