CERAMATHS doctor wins Blaise Pascal 2025 prize
The Blaise Pascal 2025 prize has just been awarded to Damien Galant, a doctor who carried out his research in mathematics at CERAMATHS (Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France), in co-tutelle with the University of Mons.
.This prestigious prize, awarded each year by an international jury convened by the Blaise Pascal Mathematics Laboratory (CNRS and Université Clermont Auvergne), recognizes a thesis of excellence in mathematics, alternating between fundamental and applied mathematics.
.Under the supervision of Colette De Coster (CERAMATHS) and Christophe Troestler (Université de Mons), Damien Galant's research focused on the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on metric graphs, a subject at the intersection of partial differential equations, calculus of variations and spectral geometry.
This distinction enshrines the scientific quality and international scope of his research, carried out within CERAMATHS, and underlines the excellence of UPHF's doctoral training.
Today, Damien Galant continues his work as a post-doctoral researcher at Brown University (USA), confirming an academic career of international stature.
