Grégory Pinon

UNIVERSITE LE HAVRE

Professeur

Description

Grégory Pinon completed his PhD dealing with the numerical computation of thrust reversers' jet for civil aircrafts in landing phase back in Dec. 2005. After a year of research fellow at Paris XI-Orsay (now Univ. Paris Saclay), he obtained an assistant-professor position at the University of Le Havre from 2006. He then started to collaborate with IFREMER (the French Research Institute for the Exploitation of the Sea) on several projects related to tidal turbines, both experimentally and numerically. This corresponds to a turning point in his carry towards energy related research programs. In 2012, he created the master degree called "Renewable Energy & Civil Engineering" at the University of Le Havre Normandy, a master degree he has been managing for a little more than a decade. He obtained a full professorship position in 2021, still in the same university. At the national level, he also participated to the creation of the GdR (a national research group) dealing with marine renewable energies back in 2016, and became the director of this group since 2020. He also participated in several National and European research programs, mostly Labex, ANR and Interreg programs. One the last important project granted is DRACCAR, a research platform attached to the offshore Met-Mast of the Fecamp wind farm. Since the beginning, his research topics deal with numerical computations mostly in the Lagrangian framework, firstly in aeronautics and now in the energy sector. In that respect, he largely participated to the elaboration of the Lagrangian Vortex method software called Dorothy. This software, well suited for wind an tidal energy applications, is to be freely delivered other research laboratories upon request. His research topics also comprise wave impact and wave modelling still for energy but also for coastal protection applications.
