Sara Zahedi, only woman recipient of an EMS Prize this year, visits our stand and talks about her love of mathematics, her visits to conference centres and some of the family issues linked to those visits and the attention one gets after receiving a priz

Sara Zahedi’s research interests lie in the development and analysis of computational methods, in particular finite element methods, for solving partial differential equations on dynamic geometries. The main application she has in mind is multiphase flows. She is also interested in numerical methods for representing and evolving interfaces separating immiscible fluids. Sara Zahedi is Assistant […]

« The Discrete Charm of Geometry »: film screened at 18:30 today at TU Audimax

A team of mathematicians is working together on a big project. Excitement of discovery, hope and disappointment, competition and recognition are shown from an infinitely close distance. Scientists united by the idea of discretization, which, in short, means: constructing continuous objects from basic building blocks. Akin to the scientists’ search for the right discretization of […]

Bravo! Congratulations!

Two French mathematicians are among the ten recipients of the 2016 European Mathematical Society (EMS) prize: Vincent Calvez, chargé de recherche CNRS at the Unité de mathématiques pures et appliquées (CNRS/ENS de Lyon) and member of the Inria NuMed project team, as well as Hugo Duminil-Copin, professor at l’Université de Genève, who in September 2016 […]
