The physics of moiré materials has developed exponentially in the last few years, following in particular the experimental discovery by P. Jarillo-Herrero (MIT) et al. in 2018 of superconducting states in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG). The topic of Moiré materials gives rise to new research directions at the interface between physics and mathematics. The project funded by the Simons Foundation brings together an… Read more »
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 »
