Résumé

Sebastien Ducruix is currently a senior researcher at CNRS, the French National Research Centre for Science, having joined the organisation in 2000. With a view to understanding and predicting a wide range of combustion dynamics - from ignition to extinction, from flashback to noise, instabilities and control - he has developed skills in diagnostics, experiments, theoretical derivations, as well as high performance computing. His research team is now composed of a dozen researchers and located at the Laboratoire EM2C, a CNRS laboratory based on the CentraleSupelec campus - formerly Ecole Centrale Paris and Supelec. His research has been funded by both national and European agencies and further supported by numerous contracts with the aeronautical and space industries, leading to about 50 articles in the top scientific journals. Since 2014, he is the Head of the French-German initiative REST on Rocket Engine stability. He became Director of EM2C in 2016, after six years as Deputy Director. EM2C is organized along three axes of research - Combustion, Heat Transfer and Plasma - and transversal activities in Applied Mathematics. The lab is now composed of about hundred people, of whom 25 are permanent researchers from CNRS, along with assistant professors and professors. Sebastien is also among the senior faculty at CentraleSupelec, teaching student engineers in the final year before graduation. He is often solicited as an expert for reviewing articles in scientific journals and proposals for collaborative projects.
