Four IP Paris Researchers win the ERC Consolidator Grant

31 Jan. 2023
The Institut Polytechnique de Paris is the academic institution that has the most researchers awarded with the European Research Council’ Consolidator Grant 2022 in France. With this grant, the four IP Paris researchers selected will pursue their promising projects to answer major societal challenges and support businesses : such as exploring fibrous materials as green alternative to fossil-based plastics or fight unemployment rates and unsatisfied job vacancies in developed countries by finding solutions to information frictions.
Four IP Paris Researchers win the ERC Consolidator Grant

Camille Duprat (Hydrodynamics Laboratory - LadHyX), Roland Rathelot (Center for Research in Economics and Statistics - CREST), and Maks Ovsjanikov (Computer Science Laboratory - LIX ) and Balt Van der Rees (Center for Theoretical Physics - CPHT) lead key projects in different fields of research including Hydrodynamics, Computer Science, Data Analytics as well as Physics.

Roland Rathelot and Maks Ovsjanikov are also research fellows at our interdisciplinary center Hi! PARIS.  

Camille Duprat

ElCapiTex – Understanding and modelling wet textiles’ behaviour

The goal of ElCapiTex, led by Camille Duprat at the Hydrodynamics Laboratory (LadHyX*) is to understand how the properties of a paper-like material are affected when wetted, and to leverage on this knowledge to build tailored textiles with a controlled response.

Maks Ovsjanikov

VEGA – Universal Transfer Learning for 3D data

Designed by Maks Ovsjanikov at Computer Science Laboratory of the École Polytechnique (LIX*), the project VEGA will try to solve problems related to the transfer learning for geometric 3D data.

Roland Rathelot

INASHI – Information frictions in hiring decisions

To characterise information frictions and their causes related to unemployment rates and unsatisfied job vacancies, Roland Rathelot, professor at ENSAE Paris, researcher at the Centre for Research in Economics and Statistics (CREST*) and research fellow Hi! PARIS will lead the INASHI project**

** GENES is the host institution for the project

Balt Van Rees

QFTinADS – Improving the understanding of quantum field theories

In his project QFTinADS, Balt Van Rees (Center for Theoretical Physics, CPHT*) will push further a strategy called the “bootstrap”, that aims at better understanding QFTs by exploring very general consistency conditions.
