Professional Experience

Prof. Traore has been a faculty member at the University of Poitiers since 1997. Over the years, he has held several leadership roles, including Head of the Mechanical Department (2015-2018), Vice-President of the Committee of Experts for Mechanical and Civil Engineering (2017-2022), and co-director of the Electro-Fluido-Dynamic Group at the PPRIME Institute (2018-2021). He is also a member of the Steering Committees of Labex INTERACTIFS and the Regional Research Network BIOMIMNA. His administrative and academic contributions extend to coordinating advanced programs such as the Master in Numerical Simulation and Computational Industrial Codes in Mechanical Engineering (SINUCIM).

Research Interest

Prof. Traore’s research focuses on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), electro-hydro-dynamic (EHD) phenomena, flow control using EHD actuators, and scientific computation. He has made significant contributions to fluid-structure interaction studies and is deeply involved in the numerical modeling of complex fluid dynamics systems. His work has been recognized in various high-impact journals, and he actively participates in reviewing for major scientific publications such as the Journal of Fluid Mechanics and Physics of Fluids.

He has chaired and co-chaired numerous international conferences and workshops, including the International Workshop on Electro-Hydro-Dynamics and Triboelectrostatics (IWEHD) and the International Symposium on ElectroHydroDynamics (ISEHD).
