In order to know his expertise in Mathematics and the application of this science to the industry, the researcher of the Center for Mathematical Modeling from Universidad de Chile (CMM) Alejandro Maass was invited as main speaker of SMAI 2015, the most influent French biennial on Industrial Mathematics, which will be hold from June 8th to 12th and organized by the Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles.
During his conference, named What does a microorganism optimize?, Maass will confront mathematical ideas with the industrial reality. He will explain this by using his work at the Genomics lab of the CMM and the experience of 12 years researching on bioleaching with the Codelco’s subsidiary Biosigma, which has produced papers and patents.
“I want to show a big picture of the reflections we have on biological networks dynamics and, from a mathematical point of view, as experts on dynamical systems,” says Maass. “This is not about talking about your own research on Mathematics. It is an effort to explain how Maths can impact in the productive systems”.
In the biennal, Maass will share the podium with recognized experts. Other main speakers will be Antonin Chambolle, Jean-François Coulombel, Gabriel Peyré, Yannick Privat, and Patricia Reynaud-Bouret from CNRS; Stéphane Labbé, from Université Joseph Fourier; Pauline Lafitte-Godillon, from Ecole Centrale Paris; Jean-François Le Gall, from Université Paris Sud; Laure Saint-Raymond, from ENS; and Stanislav Smirnov, from Université de Genève.
“The main speakers are relevant people. This is the most important meeting of French mathematicians with the industry and it is a good showcase to exhibit to the international community that the CMM is thinking about the impact of the mathematics in the industry,” concludes Maass. “The CMM has done a contribution in that scope and I see this invitation as an acknowledgment.”
