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 »
Grégoire Ferré was a PhD student at CERMICS from October 2016 to September 2019, and defended his PhD in November 2019. He worked on large deviation theory and its application in statistical physics, both from theoretical and numerical viewpoints. He now is a research associate at Capital Fund Management.
Amaury Hayat, permanent researcher at CERMICS, received the 2020 Prize of chancellerie des universités de Paris, category “sciences”. These prizes reward the academic and scientific quality of PhD theses defended during the previous twelve-month period, in the fields of law and political sciences, economics and management, medicine, sciences, pharmacy, arts and humanities. There were 9 prizes in sciences for 2020. Amaury… Read more »

Nicolas Pignet was a PhD student at CERMICS from November 2016 to October 2019, supported by a CIFRE PhD Fellowship with EDF R&D. He defended his PhD in October 2019 on hybrid high-order methods for nonlinear solid mechanics. Nicolas Pignet devised and analyzed new discretization schemes, and applied them to hyperelasticity, plasticity, and contact/friction problems. He implemented his work in… Read more »
Amaury Hayat, permanent researcher at CERMICS, received the EECI PhD Award 2019. This prize of the European Embedded Control Institute recognizes since 2007 the best PhD work in Europe in the domain of control theory for complex systems. Amaury Hayat was distinguished for his work on the stabilization of partial differential equations modeling of hyperbolic type, such as trafic flow… Read more »
