Open positions
I regularly supervise M1/M2 internships (February to September) on the numerical modelling of active and bio-active fluids, instabilities and transition. If you want to join, send me a CV and a few lines about what you have done — and what you would like to do.

Former students
What they built is on the Basilisk sandbox, reproducible and ready for the next student.
- Louise Gally — 4th-year internship: Selective frequency damping in Basilisk — an SFD module for the centered and stream-function solvers, stabilising the von Kármán street, the sphere wake and Kelvin–Helmholtz rolls. picture of the month, Nov 2026 basilisk.fr/sandbox/gally — KarmanSFD.c, SFD.h
- Malo Walmetz — Arts et Métiers / Sorbonne Université, M2 internship, March–July 2026, co-supervised with J.-Ch. Robinet (DynFluid): Superhydrophobic surfaces in Basilisk — cylinder flow validation, Navier slip (against Legendre et al. 2009), a cylinder in a plastron. basilisk.fr/sandbox/walmetz — navier_BC.c, frozen_bubble.c · GitHub
