This symposium brings together international specialists in Additive Manufacturing of metals, a fast-growing field of research. The scientific conference is intended as a forum for discussion, with a particular focus on young researchers.
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.
Building on the success of its "Studying in France" online course, the École Polytechnique’s academic team behind it is launching a new advanced MOOC. Entitled "Understanding France, Advanced French Language and Culture", this online course focuses on French and Francophone cultures.
Co-organized by Juan-Antonio Cordero-Fuertes, associate professor in Computer Science at École Polytechnique, the conference “AIvolution - Transforming the European Union´s Economy and Society” brought together academics from several European universities, members of the European Parliament, and experts from the private sector on November 16, 2023.
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 start-ups included in the 2023 Next40 /FrenchTech 120 lists were unveiled on February 19th. Ten of tte 40 Next 40 start-ups were created or co-founded by École polytechnique alumni. One out of five French unicorns - start-ups valued at more than $1 billion - also originated from the X entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem.
Manas Upadhyay, an Assistant Professor at the Ecole Polytechnique, is awarded the Jean & André Rist Medal 2022 for his work on understanding the microstructure of materials. His research at the Solid Mechanics Laboratory is currently directed towards making metal additive manufacturing more sustainable.
Cilmate emergency is at the heart of the 15th Ecological Awakening Week at École polytechnique, organized from September 28th to 30th by the student association NeXt. It follows on from the mobilization of the last three classes of Polytechnic students in the face of this major challenge
The third edition of the scientific lectures series brought together Kostas (Konstantinos) Danas, research director at CNRS and professor at École Polytechnique, and Pedro Reis, professor at École Polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), on September 22nd, 2022, to discuss the latest studies on magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) conducted at l’X and EPFL, both partner universities in the EuroTech Alliance.
Aleix Güell, researcher at Laboratory of Physics of Interfaces and Thin Films, has been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept grant. It will allow him to explore the commercial potential of an imaging technique that combines scanning probe microscopy and Raman spectroscopy to study materials in liquids, from battery to living cells.
The piece on loan is a preparatory drawing for the Belisarius begging for alms by Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825). This drawing, classified as « historical monument », is kept at the mus'X.
Jean-Jacques Marigo, researcher at the Solid Mechanics Laboratory, and Patrick Huerre, from the Hydrodynamics Laboratory at Ecole Polytechnique, received the Solid Mechanics and Fluid Mechanics prizes from the European Mechanics Society.
