Teaching

RAPSODI team members are strongly involved in teaching at the Université de Lille. C. Calgaro Zotto is in charge of the Master of Mathematical Engineering. B. Merlet is in charge of the Master 2 of Scientific Computing. E. Creusé was responsible of the “Cursus Master en Ingénierie Mathématiques” until August. He is since September director of the Mathematics Department of the Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France. C. Cancès gave lectures at Centrale Lille. S. Lemaire gave lectures in the Master 2 of Scientific Computing.
