Highlights of the Year

Human resources

A major event in the year was the merging with CLIME which induces the incorporation of several new researchers (1 Researcher, 1 engineer, 2 PhD). CLIME research is naturally complementary to ANGE works insofar as it provides high level tools to improve modelling and numerical results.

Another fact is J. Salomon's arrival as a Senior Researcher.

Scientific activities

There has been major achievements within the team in the framework of dispersive models. An increased research activity is carried out with spanish collaborators (Univ. Sevilla, Córdoba and Málaga) supported by several project call fundings. This lead to a main publication [30]. In the aftermath of N. Aïssiouene's PhD thesis, a new PhD has been hired to go further in the design of robust and efficient numerical algorithms.

As detailed in Section 10.1.1.1, members of the team were involved in the organisation of a substantial number of scientific events, either in the framework of national initiatives (mainly funded by CNRS) or due to the expertise in the field. Members are is particularly involved in the mathematical community.

Awards

L. Boittin and F. Wahl were granted a SIAM Student Travel Award to attend SIAM GS 2017. F. Wahl also received a Young Researcher Scholarship to attend the 2017 SMAI conference.
