National Initiatives

The project-team is involved in several ANR projects:

• the ANR MANIF focuses on the mathematical and numerical analysis of electronic structure models, such as, in particular, the Kohn-Sham model. It includes two research teams: researchers from the JL Lions Laboratory (Paris 6) and the Micmac team. It is coordinated by E. Cancès.

• I. Dabo is members of the ANR PANELS (Photovoltaics from Ab-initio Novel Electronic-structure Simulations).The PANELS initiative gathers three groups (CNRS, Institut Neel, France; Université de Lyon, LPMCN, France; Ecole des Ponts, Université Paris-Est, CERMICS, France) expert in methodology developments around many-body perturbation theory and a novel orbital-dependent density functional formalism, in order to study the electronic, optical and transport properties of second/third generation photovoltaic devices.

• E. Cancès is involved in the ANR BECASIM, which is concerned with the numerical simulation of Bose-Einstein condensates. This ANR has been accepted in June 2012, and is coordinated by I. Danaila (Université de Rouen).

• C. Le Bris participates to the ANR EMAQS. The scientist in charge is Karine Beauchard (CMLS, Ecole polytechnique).

• F. Legoll participates to the ANR Megas.

• T. Lelièvre is in charge of the ANR project "MEGAS".

• T. Lelièvre is member of the ANR-project "BIGMC" (PI: Gersende Fort, Telecom ParisTech) and of the ANR-project "STAB" (PI: I. Gentil, Université de Lyon).

• F. Nier is a member of ANR-NOSEVOL led by F. Hérau (Nantes) T. Ramond (Orsay) and S. Vu-Ngoc (Rennes), started in jan. 2012 for 4 years.

• F. Nier is a member of ANR-LODIQUAS led by F. Castella (Rennes) and N. Mauser (Wien), started in april 2012 for 4 years.

In addition, the team is participating in

the GdR Quantum dynamics. This interdisciplinary research network is focused on physical and mathematical problems related to the time evolution of quantum systems (transport problems, nonequilibrium systems, etc),

the GdR CoDFT,

the GdR Maths et entreprise,

the GdR correl (correlated methods in electronic structure computations),

the GDR-CNRS 3274 Dynamique Quantique 2009-2012,

the GDR-CNRS 2434 Analyse des Equations aux Dérivées Partielles.

The MICMAC team project is involved in two Labex, namely the Labex Bezout (started in 2011) and the Labex MMCD (started in 2012).

We have invited the following National researchers to visit our team:

• A. Lozinski (University of Toulouse and now at the University of Besançon): repeated visits during the year 2012.
