applications of mathematical modeling for the
aluminium industry since 1994, the year when he
founded his own consulting company GeniSim Inc
(www.genisim.com). Before that, he graduated with a
Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Laval University
in Quebec City in 1984, and then worked 10 years as a
research engineer for Alcan International. His main
research interests are the development of mathematical
models of the Hall-Héroult cell dealing with the
thermo-electric, thermo-mechanic, electro-magnetic
and hydrodynamic aspects of the problem. He was also
involved in the design of experimental high amperage
cells and the retrofit of many existing cell
technologies.
modelling of various electrometallurgical applications
involving complex interactions of the fluid flow,
thermal and electrical fields, melting front and free
surface dynamics; has been involved in numerous
industrial consulting projects.
modeling of thermo-mechanical problems for
electrical or chemical fields. He graduated with a
Ph.D. from Laval University in 2004, and is since
working on process analysis and simulation at Hatch
Associates Ltd (www.hatch.ca). His main research
finite element code, mechanical constitutive laws for
refractory materials, and numerical modeling of the
mechanical behavior of Hall-Héroult cells.
