Measuring the dark matter halo mass distribution with weak gravitational lensing using the Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey

In this project, the results from Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey will be used to model dark matter mass distribution around galaxies in the galactic cluster. Observing weak gravitational lensing of background galaxies from the optical multi-band survey and determining its parameters will help us to simulate dark matter halos around galaxies, that cause lensing, […]

Learning causal world models at scale

In order to navigate the world, an autonomous agent must build a causal model to understand the effects of its actions. In many tasks (automated car driving, automated medicine), collecting causal data, by performing arbitrary actions for the sake of measuring their effect (interventions), can be impractical, expensive and even unethical. On the other hand, […]

Âge cinématique des associations stellaires jeunes du voisinage solaire

Lors de mon projet de stage, j’utiliserai les données de la mission Gaia, qui mesure la distance, le mouvement propre et la vitesse radiale de millions d’étoiles, afin de retracer l’orbite galactique d’étoiles au sein d’associations cinématiques jeunes du voisinage solaire et déterminer l’époque de leur formation. J’étudierai aussi leur évolution au fil du temps […]

Higher Hida and Coleman theories for function fields

The project aims to study the function fields analogue of modular forms, known as Drinfeld modular forms, which are also significant objects in number theory. The objective of the project is to develop families of these forms, allowing for variation in their weights, which can lead to numerous interesting applications. To achieve this goal, the […]
