Edouard Audit studied physics at the École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay and received a PhD in theoretical physics from the Université Paris 7 in 1997. He worked at the Paris Observatory in the field of numerical cosmology and large-scale structure formation. He then joined CEA, where he has been developing massively parallel codes to study star formation, interstellar medium and laser-generated plasmas. In 2010, he was appointed as the founding director of Maison de la Simulation (MdS), a joint laboratory between CEA, CNRS and the universities of Paris-Saclay and Versailles Saint-Quentin. The mission of MdS is to foster the usage of HPC for scientific discovery. Edouard is also a professor at INSTN and teaches computational astrophysics and parallel computing. He is the coordinator of the EU-funded Energy Oriented Centre of Excellence (EoCoE). Edouard has been chairman and is now vice-chairmain of the HPC CoE Council (HPC3).
