Congratulations to several GERAD students who have obtained IVADO scholarships!

See the list here.

Even though the 16th Copper Mountain Conference On Iterative Methods was canceled, the selection of the winners of the Student Paper Competition was completed. After careful review of all the submissions, the committee has selected Alexis Montoison as one of the winners.

Alexis Montoison, PhD student at Polytechnique Montréal, is supervised by Dominique Orban.

Congratulations Alexis!
