Ali ABBOUD
Research and Development Engineer
PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics at École Polytechnique and the Atomic Energy Commission, dedicated to applying statistics, numerical analysis, and computational modeling to solve complex engineering challenges with innovative, data-driven solutions.
About Me
I'm a PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics at École Polytechnique (Centre of Applied Mathematics) and the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA).
My research focuses on developing a methodology for uncertainty quantification, with the goal of improving the accuracy and predictivity of fluid-structure interaction simulations in nuclear reactors.
Along the way, I've built an experience in: Statistics, Probability, Mechanics, Thermal-hydraulics, Neutronics, Numerical methods
Beyond my core research, I'm also very interested in quantitative finance, especially in roles that involve quantitative research and data-driven decision-making.
My PhD is directed by Professor Josselin Garnier and supervised by Bertrand Leturcq and Stanislas de Lambert, researchers at the CEA.
