Alexandre Mayer Presentation

I work as Research Associate for the department of physics at the University of Namur (Belgium). My research activities currently focus on genetic algorithms. This optimization method is inspired by natural selection and enables the determination of optimal solutions for complex problems in physics. Our team developed numerical methods for the modeling of optical devices. The combination of these methods with the genetic algorithm enables the engineering of optical devices by natural selection. The applications considered are preferably related to the development of green energies. I have otherwise expertise in electronic field emission and high-frequency nanoelectronics (optical rectennas). Besides these research activities, I teach Special and General Relativity, Numerical Methods for Physics, and Programming Methods for High-Performance Computation. I will teach next year a class of Data Science for Physics.
