Reboux, Sylvain, Dr.

Curriculum vitae

Sylvain Reboux is a postdoctoral fellow at the MOSAIC group since October 2008. He is a French citizen, born in 1982 in Annemasse, France.

He prepared the competitive examination to the "Grandes Ecoles" at Lycée Henri IV (Paris, 1999-2001), majoring in mathematics and physics. In 2001, he entered the Ecole Polytechnique, specialising in engineering and fluid mechanics. In 2004 he worked on a multiscale method for Large-Eddy Simulation of turbulent two-phase flow during an undergraduate internship at the Institute for Energy Technology at ETH Zürich.

Sylvain Reboux did a Master in fluid dynamics at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris, 2004-2005) and carried out his Master thesis in the group of Prof. Daan Frenkel at the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics, The Netherlands (2005). There he studied electro-kinetic effects during DNA translocation using lattice-Boltzmann simulations.

Between 2005 and 2008, Sylvain Reboux was a PhD student in the School of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Nottingham, UK. He worked on multiscale mathematical models for cellular adhesion and deformation using asymptotic methods. He was supervised by Prof. Oliver Jensen and Dr. Giles Richardson.

In our group, Sylvain Reboux works on hybrid particle-mesh methods for mutli-scale simulations, and he is involved in the national LipidX project for modeling and simulating lipid membranes.
