Professor in combustion and fluid mechanics

Bénédicte Cuenot

P rof. Dr-HdR B. Cuenot obtained her engineering and master degree from Ecole Centrale de Paris in 1990, and defended her PhD in 1995 and HdR in 2000, both in the field of numerical combustion.

She is today the leader of the Energy and Propulsion group at CERFACS, developing advanced and massively parallel softwares for the numerical simulation of turbulent reacting flows, plasma flows and heat transfer (including thermal radiation) in industrial systems.

Dr. Cuenot teaches combustion and fluid mechanics in various universities and has authored about 150 peer-reviewed journal papers. She has participated to many collaborative projects at the national and international level, and is much experienced in coordinating european projects.

She has been distinguished as a Fellow of the Combustion Institute in 2018 and is a member of the Editorial Board of Combustion and Flame since 2018. She was co-Chair of the 39th International Symposium in Combustion, held in Vancouver in july 2022.
