1 Annonces particulières

1.1 Réseau Thématique Optimisation

source : Filippo Santambrogio
lien : https://rt-optimisation.math.cnrs.fr/

Le RT Optimisation est un réseau thématique du CNRS. Né de la fusion des anciens GDR JEMMA, CalVa et MOA, son but est de fédérer au niveau national les chercheurs travaillant au sens large en optimisation. Le RT est divisé en 3 axes : Jeux, Calcul des Variations et Optimisation. Les thématiques abordées par le RT balaient un spectre large allant des plus appliquées (lien avec les entreprises, conception et implementation d’algorithmes d’optimisation, économie…) aux plus théoriques (théorie géométrique de la mesure, MFG, analyse non lisse…). Il est coordonné par F. Santambrogio. Les responsables des axes sont C. Rainer (Jeux), M. Goldman (CalVa) et M. Haddou (Optimisation).

Les activités du RT sont les suivantes : - Mailing liste permettant de relayer les informations sur les évènements en lien avec les thématiques du RT ainsi que les annonces de postes (bourses de thèses, post-doc, postes de MCF/Prof). Pour s’abonner : liste du RT optimisation - Soutien financier à certaines manifestations organisées par des membres du RT - Organisation de rencontres du RT (par axes ou communs selon les années) - Soutien financier à des activités de vulgarisation sur les thèmes du RT

L’équipe a lancé un recensement des membres du RT optimisation (je rappelle le principe : tout collègue basé dans un laboratoire français, public ou privé, en poste permanent ou pas, travaillant dans les domaines de l’optimisation, de la théorie des jeux et du calcul des variations est a priori concerné). Pour ceux qui ne l’ont pas encore fait, nous vous encourageons à remplir le formulaire (vraiment, ça ne prend qu’une minute) : https://framaforms.org/recensement-des-membres-du-rt-optimisation-1719864999

Le RT a d’ailleurs maintenant un site web, accessible à l’adresse https://rt-optimisation.math.cnrs.fr/

2 Thèses, postdocs et postes

2.1 Postdoc in Applied Analysis at the University of Genoa

It is a pleasure to announce the call for a Postdoc in Applied Analysis at the University of Genoa, Italy. The main research themes will be inverse problems, PDE, applied harmonic analysis and machine learning. Candidates who are familiar with one or more of these topics are encouraged to apply.

These positions will be funded by the ERC grant “Sample complexity for inverse problems in PDE” and by the AFOSR grant “Generative models for inverse problems”. The start of the position is planned in February 2025, or soon after that. The duration of the contract is 2 years. For more details visit https://malga.unige.it/open-positions/.

All the research activities will be carried out at MaLGa, the Machine Learning Genoa Centre, and will be supervised by Giovanni Alberti and Matteo Santacesaria. Today the center counts 14 faculties and around 40 PhD students/postdocs and provides a lively and dynamic work environment.

2.2 Postdoc in Optimal Transport and Statistical Fairness at the University of Toulouse

source : Franck Iutzeler

One post-doctoral position is currently available on statistical fairness using optimal transport theory at the University of Toulouse, supervised by Jean-Michel Loubes, Franck Iutzeler (Univ. Toulouse) and Panayotis Mertikopoulos (CNRS, Grenoble). The position should start in 2025 for a duration of one year (with a possible for a renewal).

Candidates who are familiar with either optimal transport or statistical fairness and related topics are encouraged to apply by mail at franck.iutzeler@math.univ-toulouse.fr.

We are pleased to invite you to the annual meeting of the Gaspard Monge Program on Optimization and Operations Research and their Interactions with Data Sciences “PGMO Days 2024”, to be held on Tuesday, November 19 and Wednesday, November 20, 2024 at the EDF Lab Paris Saclay

PGMO is a program of Fondation Mathematique Jacques Hadamard, supported by EDF: https://www.fondation-hadamard.fr/en/our-programs/thematic-programs/pgmohome/

The PGMO days will be an opportunity to meet researchers from both academia and industry.

The plenary speakers will be:
Paola Goatin (Inria Sophia-Antipolis, France)
Edouard Graves (LLM, Kyutai)
Huseyin Topaoglou (Cornell University)
Enrique Zuazua (FAU Erlangen, Germany)

The topics of this conference include :
✓continuous optimization (convex and non-convex, non-smooth…)
✓optimization of large systems (decomposition-coordination methods,…)
✓combinatorial optimization, integer or mixed programming
✓optimization under uncertainty (stochastic and robust optimization)
✓global optimization (relaxation, approximation, semi-algebraic programing, stochastic algorithms…)
✓optimal control
✓PDE aspects of optimization (shape optimization, optimal transport, …)
✓game theory
✓interfaces of optimization and data sciences, including statistical learning
✓related fields : risk management, uncertainties analysis
✓specific industrial applications of optimization and operations research : energy management, transportation, telecom networks,…

Plenary and parallel sessions will be scheduled on both the first and second days of the PGMO Days, Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20.

Registration (free but mandatory) will open soon. Please note that, in order to create awareness for food waste, there will be a symbolic charge for lunches. See you at PGMO’Days 2024 !
