Marc Rosso has been appointed Head of Entry Examinations at École Polytechnique, effective as of September 1, 2021. He takes on the role previously held by Michel Gonin, now co-director of ILANCE, a new international laboratory for Physics of the “two infinites” in Tokyo.

Waves, whether they are travelling across the surface of the water or sound waves that reach our ears, generally have the property of propagating and filling all the space available to them. However, under certain circumstances a phenomenon called localisation occurs, in which a standing wave becom…

The conversion and storage of renewable energies has become a crucial societal challenge for containing climate change. The development of these processes relies on innovative science for the development and shaping of materials to increase their efficiency and enable large-scale deployment of rene…

Jeremy Quastel, Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Toronto, was awarded the Paul Lévy Prize during the 9th European Congress of Mathematics, being held in Seville from July 15 to 19. Created jointly by the European Mathematical Society, École Polytechnique, the Fondatio…

The London Mathematical Society, the French Society for Applied and Industrial Mathematics (SMAI) and the Natixis Foundation have chosen to award the Louis Bachelier Prize 2020 to Mathieu Rosenbaum, professor at the Centre for Applied Mathematics at the École polytechnique (CMAP*) and holder of the…

École Polytechnique, Inria, CNRS and Bañulsdesign have joined forces to launch the MATritime joint laboratory, with funding from the French National Research Agency. The aim is to develop computational and statistical tools that will provide the sea shipping industry with the tools for more sustain…

Maxime Grangereau is an alumnus of the X2012 Class at École Polytechnique and is currently pursuing his PhD in collaboration with EDF and the Center for Applied Mathematics at École Polytechnique. He was officially named one of the recipients of the 2020 Siebel Scholars award at a ceremony held on …

Among the finalists for the McCall MacBain scholarship, Elsa Tanré, who studies in the Ingénieur Polytechnicien program (X20), represented École Polytechnique with distinction and has been awarded a scholarship of 20,000 Canadian dollars.

Pierre Berest, former researcher at the Solid Mechanics Laboratory, which he headed from 1990 to 2001, and professor at the Department of Mechanics, member of the High College of the École Polytechnique, has left us. Andrei Constantinescu, CNRS research director and director of the LMS honors him.

The BepiColombo probe flew over the planet Mercury and began measuring the characteristics of its magnetosphere, thanks in part to the MSA ion mass spectrometer to which the Plasma Physics Laboratory (LPP) contributed.

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 contribu…

Metabolomics is defined as the study of all the constituent and specialized metabolites present in an organism, making it possible to define its state and evolution. This science is based on two cutting-edge technologies in analytical chemistry: mass spectrometry (MS) and NMR. Because of its specif…
