Bérengère Dubrulle (born 1965) is a French astrophysicist whose research involves the study of turbulence and vortices in fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics, and their application in modeling planet formation and climate change.[1] She is a director of research for the French National Centre for Scientific Research, and the director of the École de physique des Houches.[2]
Dubrulle was born in 1965 in Dieppe, on the north coast of France. She was a student at the École normale supérieure de jeunes filles from 1985 to 1989, earning a master's degree in quantum mechanics in 1987 through Pierre and Marie Curie University and defending a Ph.D. in astrophysics in 1990 through Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier University under the direction of Jean-Paul Zahn. She completed a habilitation in physics in 1996, through Paris Diderot University.[3]
Meanwhile, she became a scientist (chargée de recherche) in the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in 1991, was promoted to director of research in 2000, and was named as director of research, exceptional class, in 2021.[3] She is affiliated with the Sphynx laboratory (Systèmes Physiques Hors-équilibres hYdrodynamiques éNergie et compleXité, out-of-equilibrium Systems and Physics - HYdrodynamics - eNergy and compleXity) at CEA Paris-Saclay.[4] Since 2020, she has also been director of the École de physique des Houches.[2][5]
