The European Research Council has selected 2 ambitious "ERC Synergy" projects involving researchers from Polytechnique laboratories: AWACA, which aims to rebuild and predict the water cycle in Antarctica by combining modelling and measurements, and HOPE, which will seek to understand the formation of the hippocampus in the brain.
Manas V. Upadhyay, assistant professor at Ecole Polytechnique at the Solid Mechanics Laboratory, has been awarded 2020 ERC Starting Grants to help him set up his research team to better understand and guide additive manufacturing of metals and alloys.
Landry Bretheau, assistant professor at Ecole Polytechnique at the Irradiated Solids Laboratory, has been awarded 2020 ERC Starting Grants to help him set up his research team to manipulate coherently condensed matter systems at the single fermion level.
The European Louis Bachelier Prize is awarded this year to Mathieu Rosenbaum, professor at the Centre for Applied Mathematics at the École Polytechnique. This prize recognises major contributions to mathematical modelling in finance and financial risk control.
"Optimizing the shape of multiphysical systems" and "Understanding decision-making under risk and delay": these themes earned the young doctors Florian Feppon and Tomáš Jagelka the recognition of their peers. Their theses are awarded “best thesis” in applied mathematics and economics respectively.
Two teams of students from l’X ranked respectively 1st and 4th at the prestigious Southwestern Europe Regional Contest (SWERC) 2019-2020 organized by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The School thus bagged a gold and a silver medal for the first time ever and qualified for the ACM-ICPC world finals in Moscow.
Maxime Grangereau, alumnus of the X2012 Class and PhD student at École Polytechnique in collaboration with EDF, is recipient of the prestigious 2020 Siebel Scholars award. This international program founded by the Siebel Foundation rewards the most talented students in the fields of Computer Science, Bioengineering, Business and Energy.
Gérard Mourou, professor at École Polytechnique and winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics, has officially been admitted as a Foreign Member into the prestigious Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
Researcher at the Laboratory of Physics of Interfaces and Thin Films, Tatiana Novikova is the winner of the G.G. Stokes Award from the international society of optics and photonics SPIE. This prize rewards her research in optics, in particular the study of the propagation of polarized light through the atmosphere and biological tissues.
On November 7, 2019, the prize Jean-Louis Gerondeau - Safran was awarded to 3 start-ups: InBolt, Néolithe and Omini. The winners of this 9th edition are rewarded for their innovations in industry, waste management and health.
Among the 40 most promising start-ups in France unveiled by the President of the Republic at the launch of Next40, nine were founded by members of École Polytechnique's community.
Professor at the Collège de France and Director of the Flatiron Institute's Centre de physique quantique numérique, Antoine Georges (class X 1980) is also a professor at the École Polytechnique.
L'X’s Center for Theoretical Physics will benefit from two ERC grants to support its research. Andréa Puhm has been awarded an ERC starting grant and Razvan Gurau an ERC consolidator grant that starts in September.
Thanks to an ERC Consolidator Grant, Razvan Gurau, CNRS research scientist at the Center of Theoretical Physics (CPHT), will be able to further his work on random tensors and field theory, an area of theoretical physics that may make it possible to solve equations that are challenging scientists today.
CNRS researcher at École polytechnique’s Center of Theoretical Physics, Andrea Puhm was awarded an ERC Starting Grant that will allow her to put together a research team on “Information Encoding in Quantum Gravity and the Black Hole Information Paradox.”
