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".
Yanlei Diao, a Professor at the Computer Science Laboratory of the École Polytechnique, develops new algorithms and methods to analyse and extract useful insights from data. Her work funded by the European Research Council is conducted in collaboration with major research institutions and industrial partners.
Balt van Rees, a researcher at the Center for Theoretical Physics, is interested in the mathematical framework of quantum field theories, which are used in many areas of physics, still raises many questions. He is leading the QFTinAdS project funded by the European Research Council.
One year after the publication of École Polytechnique’s Climate Plan and its commitment to put sustainable development at the heart of its fundamental missions of education, research and innovation, the realization of its ten objectives is well under way.
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.
The Engineering for Health (E4H) Interdisciplinary Center of Institut Polytechnique de Paris, of which École polytechnique is a founding member, is opening a new creative and collaborative space dedicated to bioengineering projects’ prototyping.
Roland Lescure (X87), the French Minister in charge of Industry, came to meet École Polytechnique’s students and start-ups of its ecosystem of entrepreneurship and innovation supported by its incubator, the Drahi X-Novation Center. He pleaded for École Polytechnique’graduates to fully support the new industrial zero carbon revolution.
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.
The kick-off meeting of the E4C 2023 International Student Challenge took place on February 1st. The new edition of the challenge is labelled « Save the ernegy, save the world ». Participants will have to to create projects which responds to the following question: What solution would you adopt to reduce your energy consumption?
Camille Duprat (Hydrodynamics Laboratory), Roland Rathelot (Centre for Research in Economics and Statistics), Balt Van Rees (Centre for Theoretical Physics) and Maks Ovsjanikov (Computer Science Laboratory of the École Polytechnique) are carrying out projects funded by the European Research Council.
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.
