Christophe Wacheux

• Led scientific & technical design of a real-time flood forecasting platform, from numerical modeling to production-ready implementation. • Defined system architecture (data I/O, numerical kernels, GPU acceleration, outputs) under strong reliability, performance and reproducibility constraints. • Developed and integrated a GPU-accelerated simulation engine based on shallow-water models within an automated cloud execution pipeline. • Coordinated development efforts and ensured consistency between physical assumptions, software architecture and operational use cases. • Worked with end users - local authorities, (re)insurers - to translate domain needs into robust system requirements.

• Analysed legacy academic C++ flood models, identified limitations and redesigned a more flexible, high-performance Python simulation core. • Explored CPU and GPU acceleration strategies using NumPy and TensorFlow/XLA. • Contributed to European R&D projects on environmental modelling and climate resilience, delivering production-oriented technical documentation for project consortia.

I am involved in a short-term project to develop the algorithms necessary to the automation and scalability of mission attribution for this fast-growing enterprise.

Since September of 2017, I have joined the team of Pr. Oh, to explore the existing relationships between integrable systems and mirror symmetry.

From January 2016 to January 2017 I have continued my research at the University of Manchester. I have started a joint project with Dr. Hendrik Suess from University of Manchester, concerning the link between semi-toric systems and equivariant toric degenerations on Fano varieties. At Manchester University, I have taught classes at undergraduate level in algebra and analysis, as well as lab sessions in Matlab.

During this post-doc position with Pr. Tudor Ratiu, I continued to carry out my research program while publishing the results acquired during my Ph.D. In particular I have expanded my areas of expertise to Poisson geometry, and I began to explore the links between my subjects and other subjects, in particular the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow approach of Mirror Symmetry. I have been supervising exercise sessions in Advance analysis at undergraduate level during both years.
