Mansour Benbakoura

I am a researcher in numerical methods for physics, with a focus on developing computational approaches to better understand complex physical systems. My current work centers on rare-event detection in large-scale numerical simulations.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at INRIA Saclay within the MIND team, where I collaborate with Thomas Moreau and Virginie Grandgirard (CEA/IRFM).

Before joining INRIA, I worked at Milvue, a French startup company founded in 2017, where I developed computer vision algorithms for radiograph analysis.

I completed my PhD in 2019 at the Astrophysics Department of the CEA (French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission), under the supervision of Rafael A. García and Patrick Gaulme. My doctoral research explored the dynamics and evolution of star–planet systems and multiple-star systems using both theoretical modeling and observational data.

Broadly, I am motivated by the challenge of combining advanced numerical techniques with physics applications, from astrophysics to plasma simulations.
