PhD grant laboratoire d'excellence MILYON-Mumps consortium

Thanks to the doctoral program from the MILYON labex dedicated to applied research in collaboration with industrial partners, we obtained 50% of a PhD grant, the other 50% being funded by the Mumps consortium. The PhD student will focus on improvements of the solution phase of the Mumps solver, in accordance to requirements from industrial members of the consortium.

Cooperation with ECNU

ENS Lyon has launched a partnership with ECNU, the East China Normal University in Shanghai, China. This partnership includes both teaching and research cooperation.

As for teaching, the PROSFER program includes a joint Master of Computer Science between ENS Rennes, ENS Lyon and ECNU. In addition, PhD students from ECNU are selected to conduct a PhD in one of these ENS. Yves Robert is responsible for this cooperation. He has already given two classes at ECNU, on Algorithm Design and Complexity, and on Parallel Algorithms, together with Patrice Quinton (from ENS Rennes).

As for research, the JORISS program funds collaborative research projects between ENS Lyon and ECNU. Yves Robert and Changbo Wang (ECNU) are leading a JORISS project on resilience in cloud and HPC computing.
