Sylvain Girard¶

I lead the “Reliability & Robustness” team at Phimeca Engineering Paris.

We use data science and numerical simulation to help designing, operating and maintaining industrial system safely and efficiently.

My main research interest are

Uncertainty modelling, in particular of spatio-temporal phenomena. Applications include pollution diagnosis and forecast, and health monitoring of industrial systems.
Dimension reduction and function approximations.
System scale modelling (also known as 0D/1D in some engineering comunities).
