Cécile Münch-Alligné obtained an engineering degree from INPG, Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Hydraulique, Grenoble France ENSHMG, department of Numerical and Modelling of Fluids and Solids in 2002. Then, she got a grant from the CNRS and the CNES to start a Ph.D. thesis on large eddy simulations of compressible turbulent flows. She defended her doctoral degree in 2005 at the INPG. From 2006 to 2010, she worked as a research associate in the Laboratory of Hydraulics Machines at EPFL on flow numerical simulations in hydraulic turbines. Since 2010, she is professor at the HES-SO Valais//Wallis, School of Engineering in Sion, Switzerland. She is head of a new hydraulic research team specialized in small hydro applications. Her main research interests are small hydro, hydraulic turbomachinery, numerical simulations, performance measurements, turbulence and fluid-structure interactions.
