Sébastien Tordeux is an Associate Professor at the University of Pau, affiliated with the Magique 3D research team in the Faculty of Sciences. His research focuses on numerical methods for wave propagation, particularly Trefftz methods, asymptotic expansions, and electromagnetic/acoustic scattering. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin and has held positions at INSA-Toulouse and ETH Zurich. He has advised multiple PhD students and organized conferences such as the 2017 conference in honor of Abderrahmane Bendali. His work emphasizes high-order numerical modeling and efficient solvers for wave equations in complex media. Education: PhD in Applied Mathematics (2004, Université de Versailles), DEA M2SAP (2001), ENSTA Engineer (1998-2001). Professional roles include Chair of Excellence in Numerical Analysis (INRIA-UPPA 2010-2015), and leadership in Master’s program administration and national academic committees (CNU 26). Research interests span Trefftz methods for time-harmonic models, numerical solvers reducing pollution effects, and asymptotic modeling for small obstacle scattering. Recent contributions include quasi-Trefftz methods for electromagnetic systems and iterative approaches for 3D wave simulations. He has supervised PhD students working on topics like antenna patch models, perforated plate acoustics, and multiscale electromagnetic diffraction. His collaborative projects involve institutions like ONERA and TU Berlin, focusing on high-accuracy wave modeling and computational methods.
