Subject: Saint Girons V Conference 29 June - 3 July 2026
Saint-Girons Conference V
The fifth conference in the Saint-Girons series will be held in Saint-Girons,
Ariège, France. It will start with a welcome reception in the
evening of Tuesday 29th June and continue until the afternoon of
Friday 3rd July although we anticipate that several participants may wish
to remain in Saint Girons over the weekend to continue enjoying the
ambiance of this beautiful and friendly village.
As in previous meetings, there will be a strong emphasis on numerical linear
and multi-linear algebra and optimisation including HPC and of course sparse
matrices although we welcome talks on emerging topics at the interface
between HPC and AI or quantum computing.
We continue to update the information about the meeting on our website:
www.saintgironsconference.eu. So keep checking this for updates of our

A fully funded PhD studentship is available in our group
under the 2025 Department of Chemical Engineering PhD
Scholarship scheme. Research will focus on one of two projects:
a) Data-driven modelling and prediction of complex systems.
Use neural ODEs and NNs to learn dynamics and solve
ODEs/PDEs/SDEs/SPDEs.
b) General hydrodynamics of observables.
Derive a generalised fluctuating dynamic density functional
theory (fluctuating DDFT) from first principles using projection
operators and maximum-entropy coarse-graining, recovering
fluctuating DDFT (FDDFT) for colloids and Landau–Lifshitz
fluctuating Navier–Stokes (FNS) equations for simple fluids.

Subject: Postdoctoral Researchers – Collaborative Team (RPI, UMassD, VT) in ROM and SciML for Kinetic Equations
We are seeking three Postdoctoral Research Associates to form a new,
collaborative research group spanning Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI),
the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (UMassD), and Virginia Tech (VT).
This is a unique, team-based opportunity. The three fellows will work together
as a single cohort, focusing on the development and analysis of reduced-order
models (ROMs) and scientific machine learning (SciML) techniques for complex
kinetic equations arising from plasma physics and radiation/neutron transport.
A key feature of this program is its collaborative mentorship. The group will
receive joint supervision from all three principal investigators. While the
postdocs will collaborate weekly as a team, each PI will also serve as the
primary, local mentor at the postdoc's home institution. All positions include an
initial appointment of one year, renewable for one or two additional years
pending satisfactory performance.
Required Qualifications:
A Ph.D. (or expected Ph.D. prior to the start date) in Applied Mathematics,
Mathematics, or a closely related discipline.
A strong background in scientific computing and numerical analysis.
Demonstrated experience in the implementation of numerical methods.
Preferred Qualifications: Preference will be given to candidates with interest
and experience in one or more of the following:
Numerical methods for hyperbolic and/or kinetic equations
Complexity reduction techniques (e.g., ROMs)
Scientific machine learning (SciML)
Positions are open immediately. Evaluation of applications will begin
immediately and be conducted on a rolling basis until all positions are filled.
Inquiries are welcome and should be sent directly to Dr. Fengyan Li
(lif@rpi.edu), Dr. Yanlai Chen (Yanlai.chen@umassd.edu), or Dr. Yingda Cheng
(yingda@vt.edu).

areas such as computational mechanics and computational oncology, among
many others. They also have the opportunity to participate in external
collaborations and access world-class computational tools at the Texas
Advanced Computing Center, including the fastest supercomputer on a
university campus.
Depending on the particular circumstances (research area, research advisor,
and Oden Institute center/group of affiliation), there may be opportunities for
Peter O'Donnell, Jr. Postdoctoral Fellows to participate in exchange programs
and strategic partnerships with other institutions, including:
- MD Anderson Cancer Center
- The Alan Turing Institute
- Select European universities
