In November 2022, Julien Guyon published an article in Le Monde and was interviewed in L’Equipe. He explained how to compute the draw probabilities of the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, a neat math problem which passionates football fans and is not as easy to solve as it looks! His calculations were also presented in the popular French TV… Read more »

Fondation des Ponts awards the Pasquet prize to the “best” student who has graduated from an engineering program. It was awarded in 2022 to Régis Santet. See here for further elements. Régis Santet is currently preparing his thesis in the Modeling, Analysis and Simulation team, on the development of efficient numerical methods for molecular dynamics.
CERMICS supports the mathematics Subscribe-to-Open programme led by EDP Sciences and the French Société de Mathématiques Industrielles et Appliquées (SMAI). See the full list of sponsors.
The ANR project SINEQ was awarded to Gabriel Stoltz. The aim of this project is to provide new tools for the mathematical and numerical analysis of nonequilibrium stochastic dynamics. The techniques employed lie at the interface of various subfields of mathematics, ranging from probability theory and the study of stochastic processes to functional analysis and the theory of partial differential… Read more »
The “Operational Research and Machine Learning” chair between Air France and Ecole des Ponts has been renewed for 5 years, and renamed “Artificial Intelligence for Air Transport”. It will fund research projects on the interactions of Machine Learning and Operations Research, as well as their applications to predictive maintenance, revenue management, and airline operations optimization.
Urbain Vaes joined the Inria project-team MATHERIALS on October 1st, 2021. His research focus is on the development and analysis of sampling methods in high dimensions, in particular for applications related to Bayesian inverse problems and molecular dynamics. He obtained his PhD in 2019 under the supervision of Grigorios Pavliotis and Serafim Kalliadasis. After that, he was a postdoctoral research… Read more »
