Some testimonies from former students

Cédric MARINEL – M2 obtained in 2019 -  PhD EOMYS : After my bachelor’s degree in mathematics, I continued my studies by joining the High Performance Computing, Simulation master’s degree at the University of Lille. In order to do my end of study internship, I joined the company EOMYS ENGINEERING, specialized in noise and vibration of electrical machines. I stayed in the company afterwards as R&D Engineer to work on optimization and simulation of electrical machines. My work is mainly based on mathematics to understand the simulation methods and HPC to compute these methods efficiently. The master’s degree was the right balance between mathematics, physics and high performance computing and all the projects were very useful to apply the theory. As I'm interested in the research world, I will soon start a CIFRE PhD with CRIStAL laboratory and EOMYS to study large structure vibration extraction using video analysis.

Thomas LENNE - M2 obtained in 2019 - Research Engineer at Vallourec Research Center France, Aulnoyes-Aymeries: I am working as a research engineer for Vallourec, premium steel pipes manufacturer for the oil industry. In the continuity of my internship, I am involved in the development and optimization of real-time simulations designed to ensure the quality of the product and the efficiency of the processes. My work is between physics (thermal, mechanical and metallurgical) and the plant point-of-view (automation, process constraints...). After 2 years of engineering school and a specialization in mechanical engineering, I decided to redirect towards applied mathematics with a particular interest for numerical simulation and High-Performance Computing. The Master degree is well-balanced between theoretical learnings and the practical applications through projects, reports and presentations which is close to my actual work balance as an engineer. The formation offers an opening to physics with lecturers from other domains and users of simulation and HPC tools. This opening emulates the relationships in a company and is a true benefit for professional integration.

Thibaut DEVOS – M1 obtained in 2019 : After two years and half in engineering school I decided to reorient myself for lack of theory in this training. So, I joined the mathematics' Bachelor during the second year where I discovered numerical mathematics: a good trade-off between theory and its applications. In engineering school, it is mandatory to go abroad for a scholar stay. As I left the school before doing it I naturally decided to do my first year of the Master 1 CHPS at Santiago de Compostela (Spain) within the framework of the Erasmus program. It was for me the opportunity to follow the courses of the M1 CHPS while enjoying an experience that brought me only advantages. Today, I am doing my internship at INRAE ​​where I combine models of root simulations with hydraulic models and soil / plant interaction. At the end of this internship I would like to continue with an industrial  PhD thesis where I could use mathematics for environmental research.

Hélène BLOCH – M2 obtained in 2018 - PhD Student at Maison de la Simulation, CEA Paris-Saclay : I am a PhD Student at Maison de la Simulation and I'm studying atmospheres of stars and exoplanets by developing a High Performance Computing (HPC) code to simulate them. I discovered this topic during my internship and I really liked the mix of code development, applied mathematics with the development of numerical scheme and physical application. The master degree in High Performance Computing, Simulation, specialized in scientific computing brought me some basis in all these fields. I started my bachelor’s degree by two years of studying mathematics and physics (Mathématiques et Physiques Approfondies at University of Strasbourg) and I did my last year of bachelor’s degree in pure mathematics, still at University of Strasbourg. After this last year, I wanted to turn towards applied mathematics. I choose the master High Performance Computing, Simulation, specialized in scientific computing at University of Lille because it combines applied mathematics for numerical simulations, computer science and physics. Furthermore, it is an international training. In my case, this master brought me some knowledge in finite volumes, a numerical method I am using in my research. It also brought me basis in High Performance Computing (HPC) I am using every day (MPI, Cuda, OpenMP). After my PhD, I can stay in academic research, move to industry or work as engineer. 

Maxime GOBERT – M1 obtained in 2016 : During the third year of mathematics' Bachelor, I decided to go towards applied mathematics by following the Master 1 applied mathematics, statistics. First, I thought learning statistics to follow the Master 2 ISN, attracted by the variety of its application fields. However, during the first year of the Master I discovered other applications of mathematics, especially in physics. There is a great diversity of fields of study, all very active and in constant growing. I then decided to move to the Master 2 Scientific Computing. The end of M1 internship (not mandatory) also confirmed my choice of M2.

Jan GMYS – M2 obtained in 2014 - Scientific assistant/PhD student at Université de Mons and Université Lille 1 : After my bachelor's degree, I was not sure what master program to choose: I wanted it to beinternational, intellectually stimulating and technology-oriented, developing practical skills as well as my passion for mathematics and finally, opening exciting job perspectives – the program of the master of Scientific Computing convinced me immediately by its interdisciplinary approach and the training resources at the students' disposal. A few weeks after having obtained my master's degree, I found a position as a scientific assistant at Université de Mons and enrolled in a PhD program in Informatics and Engineering Sciences under joint supervision (cotutelle agreement) with Université Lille 1. Moreover, a collaboration with Tractebel Engineering (Bruxelles), a global engineering consultancy company, allows me to better understand the challenges which arise in real-world applications of industrial scale. Whether I will pursue an academic career or work for company after my PhD, I feel well prepared by the scientific computing master program.

Ralitsa IVANOVA – M2 obtained in 2013 - Engineer at Maison de la Simulation, CEA/Saclay : I  am Ralitsa IVANOVA. I am currently working as an engineer at Maison de la Simulation, CEA/Saclay, being involved in the development of a 3D visualization tool dedicated to Tokamak Plasma. I find Mathematical Engineering (Advanced Scientific Computing) an ideal program providing the necessary freedom for intellectual maturity and professional development. The great variety of topics covered in the program gives you a broad perspective of where and how to pursue your professional life and allows you to choose diverse career paths.  The program is really intense and consistent but hard work pays off.

Guowei HE – M2 obtained in 2013 - HPC Application Specialist at New York University, Abu Dhabi, UAE : This unique Scientific Computing Master Program in Lille is challenging, but rewarding. It provided an excellent opportunity, to strengthen and deepen my mathematical and programming skills, in solving real-world research problems. This exceptional training helped me to get a job 6 months before graduation, which involves writing and optimizing code on JUQUEEN, one of the Top 10 supercomputers in the world, an IBM BlueGene/Q machine with 458,752 cores. Later, it even opened a door for me to work in the exciting Abu Dhabi city as an HPC application specialist, setting up a supercomputer from scratch. I am sure that it is a Master’s choice you will not regret.

Ludivine LECLERCQ – M2 obtained in 2012 - Post-doctoral position at LATMOS, Paris : After having obtained my master degree in scientific computing at the Lille 1 University, I recently obtained my PhD from UPMC, related to scientific computing, plasma physics, and planetology. The main objective of my PhD was to numerically optimize and develop parallelized models. In particular, I investigated a model of exosphere, which is the rarefied « high » atmosphere of a planet, and a model for the simulation of interactions between space plasmas, as the solar wind for example, and planetary environments (which can include an atmosphere and/or a magnetosphere). I am currently continuing my research work in the same laboratory (LATMOS, Paris), as a post-doctoral scientist. This work allows me to be involved in different space missions whose goal is to investigate the environments of Mercury, Mars, and Ganymede, a Jupiter's moon. Applying my mathematical and numerical background in the frame of spatial missions is very exciting for me.
