Amandine Aftalion is a French mathematician. She is a CNRS senior scientist and graduated from cole normale suprieure in Paris. She has given talks all over the world, as a specialist of models coming from low temperature physics. She has written a book on vortices in BoseEinstein condensates. More recently, she has used energy minimization to study an optimal control problem coming from human energy: optimizing running. She has written papers on sports aimed at coaches. Part of her latest results have inspired the first chapter of this book.

She is the producer and director of a French YouTube channel for the popularization of mathematics, Videodimath, elected as one of the 5 best French YouTube channels for popular mathematics.
