Noé Blassel awarded the GAMNI-SMAI PhD Prize

Noé Blassel was awarded the Ph.D Prize SMAI-GAMNI for his thesis on the mathematical analysis and computation of trajectorial properties in molecular dynamics. Defended in December 2025, the thesis was carried out at CERMICS (UMR 9032) under the supervision of Gabriel Stoltz and Tony Lelièvre, who was himself the 2005 laureate.

This prize was created in 2005 to reward doctoral research in applied mathematics for engineering sciences.

Each year, the prize is awarded to a thesis defended in France within a range of topics, including PDEs, numerical analysis, scientific computing, mechanics, and climate modeling. The laureate is then nominated by SMAI-GAMNI as a candidate for the European Ph.D. awards of the ECCOMAS society.
