Congratulations to Ms. Bérangère Dubrulle, Fulbright France alumna 1987/88, elected to the Académie des sciences!
Following the open elections in 2023, the Académie des Sciences has just elected 18 new members.
Among them is Berengère Dubrulle, Director of Research at the SPEC condensed physics service (CNRS Physics / CEA-Iramis) and Director of the École de physique des Houches. She will sit on the Mechanical and Computer Sciences section.
Bérengère Dubrulle has focused all her research on modeling turbulence from the atomic to the complete system scale. As a theoretician, she has collaborated with numerical and experimental teams, notably involving herself in the analysis and interpretation of several laboratory experiments (Taylor-Couette, von Karman, VKS, SHREK).
In the process, she has advanced our understanding of various physical, astrophysical and geophysical phenomena, such as the formation of the solar system, mass distribution in the Universe's great structures, abrupt climate changes, solar or terrestrial dynamo, etc.
Ms. Dubrulle had benefited from a grant from our Fulbright France program in 1987/88 as a visiting researcher at the Astronomy Department of the University of California at Berkeley!
Academicians are elected for life, following a rigorous election process whose results are ratified by official decree of the President of the French Republic.
