Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences (MASI)
 
  • Presentation

    Careers in modeling related to mathematics (numerical modeling), computer vision, intensive calculation (High-Performance Computing or HPC), and information sciences (design and control techniques, algorithmic techniques) are rapidly expanding professional domains for our students, both in the corporate and academic worlds. The global shortage of skilled labor and young graduates in this area should become even more acute in the next twenty years, as numerous studies have pointed out (including SCID AC* program reports of the US Department of Energy.

    Objectives

    In this particularly favorable professional context, the Applied Mathematics and Information Sciences (MASI) field offers students a full range of training programs devoted to the modeling of complex systems (physical, biological, technical, and organizational) and to their simulation in highperformance computer systems.

    Pedagogy

    This field offers five specializations:
    • Modeling and Simulation (MS)
    • Mathematics, Vision, Learning (MVA)
    • Design and Management of Complex Computer Systems (CoMaSIC)
    • Systemic and Synthetic Biology (BSS)
    • High-Performance Computing (HPC)

Partner Laboratory : Mathematics Applied to Systems (MAS ) EA 4037 

The Mathematics Applied to Systems (MAS) Laboratory, founded in the early 2000s, brings together all of the mathematics and computing research at Ecole Centrale Paris, supported by the departments of Mathematics and Information Technologies and Advanced Systems. Positioned at the center of numerical technologies, the laboratory's work pertains to modeling, simulation, complex systems analysis and optimization (of the industrial world, of living organisms, of markets, and of information and networks). This work revolves around three axes:

  • Scientific engineering and visualization
  • Information processing - data and images
  • Information systems engineering

All of the laboratory's activities are conducted in close collaboration with French and international research teams (including, notably, INRIA, CEA, Supelec, ENS Cachan, and LIAMA in China), as well as through structural partnerships with companies (BNP-Paribas and SAP-BusinessObjects Chairs) and multi-partner collaborative projects (especially within the Pôle System@tic).
