Dr Yanick Sarazin graduated from an engineering school in Grenoble in 1993, and defended his PhD thesis on edge turbulence modelling in fusion devices in 1997. He then obtained the Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches in 2008. His main activity deals with turbulence and transport theory and modelling in controlled fusion devices. He is responsible for HPC CPU-time demands on gyrokinetic at IRFM, and member of international HPC committees (IFERC/Helios in 2011-2016, Marconi-Fusion from 2015). He is full professor at the National Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology since 2009. He supervised 8 PhD students and 1 post-doc. He co-authored 130 publication in peer-review journals (H factor = 30) and led several European projects. He is the current leader of the “Fusion for Energy” work package in EoCoE-I.
