I am a professor specializing in complex fluid mechanics at Université Laval, located in Quebec, Canada. As the holder of the Canada Research Chair in Modeling Complex Flows, I am privileged to lead a dynamic team comprising approximately 15 highly talented graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Together, we engage in cutting-edge research that spans multiple disciplines and focuses on the mysteries of complex fluid flow phenomena. My particular areas of expertise lie in interfacial flows, flow stability analysis, and non-Newtonian fluid dynamics.
To comprehensively investigate these intricate flow problems, I employ a multifaceted approach that combines experimental, theoretical, and computational methodologies. By leveraging state-of-the-art techniques and instruments, such as tomographic particle imaging velocimetry (Tomo-PIV), laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), ultrasound Doppler velocimetry (UDV), rheometry, tensiometry, and ultra-high-speed imaging, our laboratory is fully equipped to delve into the complexities of fluid mechanics.

We are actively seeking collaborations with established project consortia that can benefit from our profound expertise in fluid mechanics, advanced experimental capabilities, and comprehensive complex flow modeling. In this pursuit, we are particularly interested in joining the joint transnational call, scheduled for launch this September by Biodiversa+, wherein our provincial research funding agency, the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT), participates. The funding amount allocated for Quebec Teams as part of this initiative is a substantial $300k CAD, spread over a period of three years.
For this call, research consortia must include at least three countries financially participating in the call, while two of these countries must be from the EU Member States or EU Associated Countries
By becoming a valuable partner in project consortia, we aim to contribute our unique insights, expertise, and cutting-edge research methodologies to advance the understanding of fluid mechanics and its applications in various domains and applications.
My upcoming presence is at two conferences: the 19th International Congress on Rheology in Greece (July 29 - August 4) and the 10th International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics in Japan (August 20-25).
