Pascale Garaud is a French astrophysicist and applied mathematician interested in fluid dynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, and their applications to astrophysics and geophysics. She is a professor of applied mathematics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and currently serves as the department chair. [1]

Garaud was a student at Louis Pasteur University in Strasbourg, and came to Trinity College, Cambridge as a Knox Scholar to study for the Mathematical Tripos.[2] Remaining at Cambridge, Garaud earned her Ph.D. in 2001. Her dissertation, The dynamics of the solar tachocline, was jointly supervised by Douglas Gough and Nigel Weiss.[3] After postdoctoral research at Cambridge, she joined the faculty at the University of California, Santa Cruz in 2004.[1]

At Santa Cruz, Garaud is a Fellow of Oakes College.[4] She founded the Kavli Summer Program in Astrophysics[5] (formerly the International Summer Program for Modeling in Astrophysics), an annual meeting of graduate students and researchers, in 2010.[6]

In 2019, Garaud was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society.[7]
