Highlights of the Year

Emmanuel Trélat obtained the Felix Klein Prize at the 6th European Congress of Mathematics in Krakow.

Motivations by the prize committee: Emmanuel Trélat receives the Felix Klein Prize for combining truly impressive and beautiful contributions in fine fundamental mathematics to understand and solve new problems in control of PDE's and ODE's (continuous, discrete and mixed problems), and above all for his studies on singular trajectories, with remarkable numerical methods and algorithms able to provide solutions to many industrial problems in real time, with substantial impact especially in the area of astronautics.
