Education and career
Abgrall received his degree in mathematics at École normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud in 1985 and his PhD at Pierre and Marie Curie University in 1987 with a thesis entitled Conception d’un modèle semi-lagrangien de turbulence bidimensionnelle. He worked at ONERA and then at Inria as a research scientist. From 1996 until 2013 he was professor at University of Bordeaux 1 and then at Institut polytechnique de Bordeaux. Since 2014, he has been a professor of numerical analysis at the University of Zurich.
Honours and awards In 2001 he received the Prix Blaise-PascalPrix Blaise-Pascal, Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles from the French Academy of Sciences. He is honorary member of the Institut Universitaire de France.Institut Universitaire de France In 2008 he got an advanced CORDIS grantAdaptive Schemes for Deterministic and Stochastic Flow Problems, ERC Advanced Grant from the European Research Council. He was elected as a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, in the 2022 Class of SIAM Fellows, "for fundamental contributions to the development of numerical methods for conservation laws, in particular for multi-fluid flows and residual distribution schemes".
