LAMPS

LAMPS or LAboratoire de Modélisation Pluridisciplinaire et Simulations (Laboratory of Multidisciplinary Modeling and Simulations) is a research unit with 29 permanent members (6 PR, 3 MCF HDR, 11 MCF, 1 PRAG, 3 BIATSS, 5 PR émérites), 5 associate members, 2 ATER or contract staff, an average of ten PhD students, as well as seasonal interns and visiting professors.

As its name suggests, this is a multi-disciplinary laboratory focused on numerical modeling and simulation, in both their theoretical and applied aspects, and offering expertise in certain areas of computer science, mathematics and physics.

The main phenomena modeled and/or simulated are related to mechanics (continuum mechanics, in particular contact mechanics, fluid mechanics), statistical physics, physical chemistry, condensed matter physics, energetics and economics.

The fundamental tools developed in this context belong to the fields of mathematical and numerical optimization, variational analysis of partial differential equations, computer program verification and error control, and High-Performance Computing.

The laboratory is structured along four thematic axes :

• Theme 1 : Mathematical and Numerical Modeling for Mechanics
• Theme 2 : Physics of Complex Systems
• Theme 3 : Characterization of Numerical and Discrete Systems
• Theme 4 : Nonlinear Analysis and Optimization
