Interview at CIRM
Martin Gander (University of Genève) held the Jean-Morlet Chair at CIRM during the second semester of 2022, in collaboration with Florence Hubert (Aix-Marseille University, co-holder). His research focuses on application-oriented applied and computational mathematics. I find it very motivating to deal with a real-life problem, starting with the appropriate modelling of the situation using physics, then carrying out a mathematical analysis of the model and finally implementing an algorithm on a high-speed computer to obtain the necessary results in practice. To exploit computing power to its limit, this mix of physical understanding, mathematical analysis and computer science is essential. I also enjoy working with other people, which is natural in applications'.
