== Biography ==
Engineer from [[École Centrale Paris|École Centrale de Paris]] (1980, now [[CentraleSupélec|Centralesupelec]]), he obtained a doctorate in engineering in 1983 and a state thesis in 1987 before working at Stanford for two years (1988-1990). He currently works in Toulouse. His areas of expertise are [[fluid mechanics]], [[combustion]], [[propulsion]], [[acoustics]], high performance computing.

He is the author or co-author<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> of :
- 220 articles in peer-reviewed journals
- 200 scientific communications with proceedings
- Theoretical and numerical combustion" with D. Veynante, course book on combustion<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

His work focuses mainly on combustion, fluid mechanics and energy. To do this, he uses experiments and theoretical methods. In addition, he relies on high performance [[Computer simulation|numerical simulation]]<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> which consists in creating 'virtual' digital twins of real systems (such as an airplane or helicopter engine) thanks to supercomputers now comprising several million processors (see Top500<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>).
After his [[Doctor of Philosophy|PhD]] thesis on the physical mechanisms controlling the firing of tyres (for [[Michelin]]), he developed experimental and theoretical studies of combustion instabilities<ref>Poinsot T., Trouvé A., Veynante D., Candel S. et Esposito E., « Vortex driven acoustically coupled combustion instabilities », ''Journal of Fluid Mechanics'', 1987, 177, <abbr>p.</abbr> 265-292</ref> and their control<ref>Poinsot T., Lang W., Bourienne F., Candel S. et Esposito E., « Suppression of combustion instability by active control », ''Journal of Propulsion and Power'', (1989) 5, 1, <abbr>p.</abbr> 14</ref> <ref>McManus K., Poinsot T. et Candel S., « A review of active control methods for combustion instabilities », ''Progress in Energy and Combustion Science'', (1992) 19, <abbr>p.</abbr> 1-29</ref> in aeronautical engines under the direction of [[Sébastien Candel]] at the EM2C laboratory at Centrale Paris. He has also developed models for turbulent combustion<ref>Candel S.M. et Poinsot T., « Flame stretch and the balance equation for the flame area », ''Comb. Sci. and Tech.'', (1990), 70, <abbr>p.</abbr> 1-15</ref>.
During his two-year [[postdoctoral fellowship]] at Stanford, he set up the first direct simulations of turbulent flames<ref>Meneveau C. et Poinsot T., « Stretching and quenching of flamelets in premixed turbulent combustion », ''Comb. and Flame'', (1991), 86, <abbr>p.</abbr> 311-332</ref> <ref>Poinsot T., Veynante D. et Candel S., « Quenching processes and premixed turbulent combustion diagrams », ''Journal of Fluid Mechanics'', (1991), 228, <abbr>p.</abbr> 561-606</ref> <ref>Poinsot T. et Lele S., « Boundary conditions for direct simulations of compressible reacting flows », ''Journal of Computational Physics'', (1992), 101, 1, <abbr>p.</abbr> 104-129</ref> <ref>Poinsot T., Echekki T. et Mungal M.G., « A study of the laminar flame tip and implications for premixed turbulent combustion », ''Combustion Science and Technology'', (1991), 81, 1-3, <abbr>p.</abbr> 45</ref>.
