Raphaël Bulle
Raphaël Bulle joined the group in 2017 after a Masters degree in Mathematics at the Université de Franche-Comté. His PhD thesis was on the topic of a posteriori error estimation for the combined rational-finite element approximation of fractional elliptic operators.
Raphaël was supervised in a co-tutelle arrangement with Stéphane P. A. Bordas , Alexei Lozinsky and Franz Chouly .
Raphaël is now a postdoctoral researcher in Applied Mathematics at Laval University, Québec, Canada.
ASSIST, PI, University of Luxembourg internal research project, 2017-2021.
Martin Řehoř
Martin Řehoř joined the group in 2017 after finishing his PhD thesis at Charles University and Heidelberg University. He worked on numerical simulation of complex flows, e.g. viscoelasticity and complex wall-slip behaviour.
Martin is now a Research Scientist at Rafinex Sarl .
