Stéphane Redon: Inventing engineering on an atomic scale
Stéphane Redon is one of four Inria candidates selected in the young researcher category for the 2012 ERC European call for projects. His project, named ADAPT, develops adaptive mathematical and algorithmic methods to produce nanosystem CAD software that aims to be as generic as the benchmark macroscopic CAD software Catia, developed by Dassault Systèmes.

Marie-Paule Cani wishes to make 3D virtual creation available to all
Thanks to the Advanced Grant awarded to her by the European Research Council (ERC), aimed at experienced researchers, Marie-Paule Cani, a university professor at the INP Grenoble, will finance five years of research into the design of animated virtual shapes within the framework of her IMAGINE team, shared with Inria Grenoble and with the Jean Kuntzmann laboratory (CNRS and Universities of Grenoble). She hopes to make the digital tool as intuitive as simply using pen and paper, and much more efficient.

Survey
How much do French people understand of the digital world?
Health, industry, transport, agriculture, communication, the environment… no field has escaped the profound impact of digital sciences and technology – inventions that are moulding the contours of a “New World” today. This daily reality, at once invisible, diverse and omnipresent, raises a fundamental question: how much do French people understand of the digital world in which they live?

Modelling - Biological systems
Parameter estimation : how to use incomplete biological data ?
Modelling biological systems, in particular at the level of the dynamics of cellular processes, is the objective of the IBIS team. Biological data are becoming ever more plentiful, but their use in estimating the mathematical parameters of a model remains an especially difficult problem. Sara Berthoumieux, a PhD student in the IBIS team, tells us about her work on the subject, carried out as part of her thesis.

Distinction
Hubert Garavel received the Gay-Lussac Humboldt Research Award
Hubert Garavel recently received the Gay-Lussac Humboldt Research Award. He is the fourth French scientist in the field of computer science to be awarded this Prize, one of his predecessors being Alain Bensoussan (1983), former chairman of Inria. As a consequence of this award, Hubert Garavel is invited to Germany, where he will be hosted by Professor Holger Hermanns, Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Saarland, with whom he has been collaborating for 10 years.
