Mathematics in Computational Science and Engineering

MATHICSE-Group

The group of Mathematics in Computational Science and Engineering includes the Chair of Numerical Algorithms and High Performance Computing (ANCHP – Prof. Daniel Kressner), the Chair of Scientific Computing and Uncertainty Quantification (CSQI – Prof. Fabio Nobile), the Chair of Dynamics of Learning Algorithms (DOLA – Prof. Lénaïc Chizat), the Chair of High Performance Numerical Algorithms and Simulations (HPNALGS – Prof. Laura Grigori), the Chair of Mathematics for Materials modelling (MATMAT – Prof. Michael Herbst), the Chair of Computational Mathematics and Simulation Science (MCSS – Prof. Jan Hesthaven), the Chair of Numerical Modelling and Simulation (MNS – Prof. Annalisa Buffa), the Chair of Continuous Optimization (OPTIM – Prof. Nicolas Boumal), the group of Prof. Marco Picasso (GR-PI), the group of Prof. Simone Deparis (SCI-SB-SD) and the honorary Professors Alfio Quarteroni (founder and director of the former Mathematics Institute of Computational Science and Engineering, now MATHICSE Group) and Jacques Rappaz.

We also warmly remember our former member and director of the Mathicse institute Prof. Assyr Abdulle who held the chair of Computational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis.

Mission

Promote at the highest scientific level the research and education on mathematical modeling, numerical modeling, algorithmic development and simulation, as well as their application in nature, environment, life, society, science and engineering. Establish and lead research programs in Computational Science and Engineering within the Institute of Mathematics and interact with existing projects in the CSE area across the EPFL Campus.
