Organized by the French Mathematical Games Federation on August 25 and 26 at l'X, the event brought together over 500 competitors from 15 different countries. In hosting the event, l'X illustrates two of the principles that animated its founding fathers 230 years ago: recruiting the best scientific talent from all horizons, and delivering scientific and technical training of excellence based on solid mathematical foundations.
How does a bacterial line behave in the face of a cocktail of antibiotics, cancer cells in the face of chemotherapy, or the Guyanese forest in the face of climate change? At the Center for Applied Mathematics (CMAP), the MERGE team works at the interface between biology and mathematics. It contributes to the emergence of new questions and tools in the latter field, while shedding light on the problems faced by biologists.
A consortium led by the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, of which X is a founding member, and HEC Paris has won a €70 million call for IA Cluster projects. This collective success will have numerous spin-offs for the X laboratories involved in the Hi! PARIS Interdisciplinary Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis.
In December, Gauthier Vermandel was awarded the Banque de France's 2023 "Young Researchers in Green Finance" prize for his work on the impact of the carbon tax on financial markets.
The second CLIFIRIUM conference (Climate finance, risk and uncertainty modelling) was held from 09 to 11 October 2023 at the Banque de France and the French Banking Federation. It was organised by the "Stress-Test: Risk Management and Financial Steering" Chair, headed by Emmanuel Gobet (professor at the École Polytechnique) at the Center for Applied Mathematics (CMAP*) and supported by BNP Paribas.
The "Data Science and Industrial Processes" Chair, in partnership with UM6P, co-directed at École Polytechnique by Eric Moulines and supported by the OCP Group, helped organize the "Winter School - Generative AI" conference held from February 26 to March 1, 2024 in Morocco.
Josselin Garnier, researcher at the Centre for Applied Mathematics (CMAP) and Sandrine Bony, Research Director at the CNRS - Centre national de la recherche scientifique within the Laboratory of Dynamic Meteorology (LMD) are among the 18 scientists newly elected to the French Academy of Sciences.
The TechInnov Days were held from January 26 to 27, 2023, in Ben Guerir, Morocco. This conference dedicated to data science and artificial intelligence was co-organized by the École Polytechnique through its Chair "Data Science & Industrial Processes".
As runners and walkers know, every stride generates shock and vibration. For their comfort, sports shoe manufacturers are particularly interested in reducing these vibrations. That is the challenge Antoni Joubert took up in his research in the framework of the Arkema Chair "Design and modeling of innovative materials".
The closing ceremony of the second edition of the GenHack student challenge, organised by the "Stress Test, Risk management and Financial Steering" chair, was held on Thursday 2 February 2023 in the presence of the five winning teams.
Éric Moulines, Professor at École Polytechnique, Michael Jordan from the University of California, Berkeley, Christian Robert from Université Paris Dauphine-PSL and Gareth Roberts from the University of Warwick are leading the OCEAN project funded by the European Research Council (ERC Synergy Grant). The aim is to lay the theoretical foundations for the future generation of artificial intelligence algorithms.
