Education

Candel studied plasma physics at the École Centrale Paris, where he graduated with a master's degree in engineering science (Diplôme d'Ingénieur) and DEA (Diplôme d'Études Approfondies) in 1968. He subsequently received his PhD from the California Institute of Technology under the supervision of the famous aeronautical scientist Frank E. Marble and Pierre and Marie Curie University, in 1972 and 1977 respectively.

His areas of expertise include fluid mechanics, combustion, propulsion, acoustics and aeroacoustics, signal processing, and hypersonics.

Positions

Contributions

His academic contributions include:

  • More than 190 peer-reviewed journals
  • Sections for 40 books
  • 200 scientific papers
  • Author of Mécanique des fluides et Problèmes de mécanique des fluides (Dunod)
  • Co-author of Turbulent mixing and Combustion (Kluwer).

Candel was also Vice President of the Combustion Institute from 1996 to 2002, and Associate Editor for Combustion and Flame from 2001 to 2008.

Distinctions
gollark: Because of some design flaws the RGB ended up overheating the SSD's controller, on one of them, making it throttle a lot.
gollark: Mostly they look like generic metal or plastic cuboids with SATA interfaces on them, or just PCBs with a bunch of flash chips and the M.2 connector, but some insane companies added RGB.
gollark: You should use a solid state SSD disk.
gollark: How does that even happen? These are integers. There shouldn't be floating point weirdness.
gollark: I have some JS which *almost* works, except it's *somehow* off by a few percent and it cuts off the bottom of the text.
