About me
I am an associate professor (Maîtresse de conférences) at École Centrale de Nantes. I am a member of LMJL.
My research focuses on modelling biological phenomena and on the mathematical and numerical study of the models developed. I am particularly
interested in modelling cellular or bacterial movements using partial differential equations, at the level of an individual or a population.
You can contact me at claire.alamichel [at] ec-nantes.fr.
Previously I was a postdoctoral researcher at Centre Inria de l'Université de Rennes in the team of Hélène Hivert. I worked on numerical methods for evolution in spatially structured population models. I was a member of IRMAR.
I did my thesis at LaMME at the Université d'Évry Paris-Saclay and at DISMA at the Politecnico di Torino under the supervision of Nicolas Meunier and Luigi Preziosi. My thesis work focuses on the modelling of cell motility and the influence of the cell nucleus on it. My thesis manuscript is available here. My thesis was part of a joint international thesis and the defence took place on 20 September 2024.
You can find my CV here [Eng / Fr].
