Christine Bernardi (18 May 1955 – 10 March 2018)[1][2] was a French mathematician known for her research on numerical analysis of partial differential equations.
[1] Her 1986 dissertation, Contribution à l'analyse numérique de problèmes non linéaires, was supervised by Pierre-Arnaud Raviart [pt].
[1] She worked for CNRS at the Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions of Pierre and Marie Curie University, and retired for health reasons roughly a year before her death.
[2] Bernardi is the author of: In 1995, Bernardi was the winner of the Blaise Pascal Prize [fr; pt], awarded annually for outstanding research in numerical analysis by a young researcher by the French Academy of Sciences in consultation with the Groupe thématique pour l'Avancement des Méthodes Numériques de l'Ingénieur of the Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles.
[7] In 2018, the International Conference on Spectral and High Order Methods initiated the Christine Bernardi Award, for outstanding research by a young woman in "high-order approximations for the solution of PDE’s".
