Benoît Crespin, an Assistant Professor at the Université de Limoges, France, and Head of the Simulation, Image & Rendering research group at XLIM laboratory, has made significant strides in computer science. With a Ph.D. in Computer Science and an HDR from Université de Limoges, his expertise lies in GPU-based simulations, Delaunay triangulations, and fluid dynamics. Crespin’s leadership roles include the Head of International Office and executive board member at the Faculty of Science and Technology. Notably, he coordinates the “SOMA-DNS” project funded by the French National Agency for Research. Recognized for his excellence, he received the Scientific Excellence Award and grants from CNRS and CRCT.

Crespin’s impact extends to open-source contributions, exemplified by 2D calculation codes for fluid simulation and particle-based simulations, available on platforms like GitHub. His multidimensional contributions in research, leadership, and open-source initiatives position him as a key influencer in advancing computer science and simulation technologies.
