Fortin earned his Ph.D. from the Université Laval in 1984.[2] His thesis advisor was Michel Fortin, a now emeritus professor of the Université Laval, recipient of Prix Summa in 1987 and prize CAIMS-SCMAI in 2005 and a member of the Royal Society of Canada in 1999.[3][4][5][6]
Career
editHe is the director of the Groupe Interdisciplinaire de Recherche en Éléments Finis (GIREF).[7]
In addition to over 150 research papers on mathematics, he has written a student textbook on numerical analysis for engineers "Analyse numérique pour ingénieurs" in 1994.[8][9][10] The textbook has been awarded the Prix Roberval in 1996.[11]
Moreover, Fortin has received the CAIMS-Fields Industrial Mathematics Prize in 2012 in recognition of his exceptional contribution throughout his career to research in industrial mathematics.[12]
