Comparative Metagenomic for Measuring Biodiversity. Application to Ocean Life Studies – HydroGen
Ambitious metagenomic projects such as the study of the Human intestinal microbiota (HMP project) or the study of the ocean biodiversity (Tara Oceans project) take thousands of environmental samples. These samples contain an impressive microbial flora that can be revealed by analyzing the DNA of org
COmputational Statistics and MOlecular Simulation – COSMOS
This proposal aims at developing numerical techniques dedicated to the sampling of high-dimensional probability measures describing a system of interest. There are two application fields of interest: computational statistical physics (a field also known as molecular simulation), and computational st
Design of Experiment for the Industry of transportation and Optimization – PEPITO
Recent advances in simulation (hardware and software) make its use more accessible, and engineering departments have changed from scarce and costly expert simulation, to more accessible engineering calculations carried out daily. Paradoxically, the proliferation of data and results dramatically incr
Highly Efficient ATmospheric modelling – HEAT
Latest-generation atmospheric models like the hydrostatic icosahedral dynamical core DYNAMICO carry the promise of addressing scientific issues that remain out of reach with current operational models. Putting these latest-generation models to work to answer scientific questions nevertheless require
t-GATE: a unique integrative simulation platform for theranostics modeling – t-GATE
The theranostics concept, defined as a therapeutic strategy (e.g. chemotherapy, hyperthermia, radiation therapy) combined with one or more in-vivo imaging modalities (e.g. PET, SPECT, CT, MRI), is a current trend towards achieving personalized medicine. A growing number of techniques and protocols i
MOdels, Oscillations and NumeRIcal SchEmes – MOONRISE
The Moonrise project aims at exploring modeling, mathematical and numerical issues originating from the presence of high oscillations in nonlinear PDEs mainly from the physics of nanotechnologies and from the physics of plasmas. Our target models are the following ones: - Highly oscillatory regi
Contextual and Aggregrated Information Retrieval – CAIR
The context of the project CAIR is data management and its objectives are search and intelligible organization of query results. These objectives are in the line of technologies highlighted, e.g., by Serge Abiteboul in his inaugural lecture at the Academy of Sciences, "one must develop technologies
Algebraic and geometric domain decomposition for subsurface /groundwater flows – DEDALES
Simulations in the geosciences lead to systems of coupled partial differential equations, posed over complex geometries and unstructured meshes, and require implicit solution methods. The main object ive of project DEDALES is to show that such simulations can be run efficiently on the next genera
Machine learning for very large arrays in radiostronomy – MAGELLAN
Major breakthroughs in cosmology and in astrophysics are expected with the planned new large interferometers, such as the Square Kilometer Array (SKA, around 2025) and its precursors. A large international effort is now under way to design and to build these new facilities. Their ultimate performanc
large-scale machine learning and applications – MACARON
Statistical modeling requires representing measurements of some physical phenomenon as computationally manageable data, before learning a model that fits some observations. Recently, models involving a large number of parameters have gained significant success in solving difficult prediction tasks,
Geometric integrators in fluid dynamics and elasticity – GEOMFLUID
The proposal entitled GEOMFLUID is for work on the development and applications of geometric numerical integrators for partial differential equations arising in atmospheric and oceanic circulation, and in nonlinear continuum mechanics. Geometric integrators form a particular class of numerical sche
Two-phase ignition and propagation in multi-burner combustors – TIMBER
During the design of cleaner and more efficient aerojet engines, reliability of re-ignition in high altitude must be demonstrated. The TIMBER project involves three laboratories (CERFACS-CORIA-EM2C) and the SAFRAN Group to study and accurately simulate the ignition process in annular multi-burner co
