A series of monthly lectures, The Jacques Morgenstern Colloquium exhibits the most active, most promising research in the field of Information and Communication Science and Technology (ICST).
The lectures cover current research, new applications, as well as industrial and social challenges. The invited speakers are established senior experts of international stature in computer science, mathematics, and other fields where ICST plays a crucial role.
The colloquium is addressed to all researchers, engineers and students who want to better understand the future of IST. It is intended to create awareness and interest and to promote interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations.
The colloquium is named after Jacques Morgenstern, a professor of mathematics at the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis and one of the pioneers in algebraic complexity and computer algebra. He headed a joint team of CNRS, Inria and the University of Nice until he died tragically in 1994.
The colloquium is part of the training at Ecole Doctorale STIC. Free entrance.

Our recent speakers
Rodolphe Sepulchre – Spiking Control Systems
October 3rd, 2024 Spikes and rhythms organize control and communication in the animal world, in contrast to the bits and clocks of digital technology. As continuous-time signals that can be counted, spikes have a mixed nature. This talk will review ongoing efforts to develop a control theory of spiking systems. The central thesis is that…
Jean Claude Bajard – Des systèmes de numération pour le calcul modulaire
16 mai 2024 Le calcul modulaire est utilisé dans de nombreuses applications des mathématiques, telles que la cryptographie. La réduction modulaire dans un contexte très général est coûteuse, car elle nécessite principalement une division. Dans la pratique, cependant, le modulo est souvent fi xe, par exemple lorsqu’on calcule sur un corps fi ni, et il est donc…
Simone Göttlich – A multi-scale model hierarchy for material flow problems
April 18th, 2024 – 11:00 am The material flow problems under consideration are inspired by real experiments and allow for a multi-scale model hierarchy description. Starting from a detailed microscopic model based on individual trajectories, a corresponding macroscopic model is derived, leading to conservation laws with non-local interaction term. Both modeling approaches are fitted against…
Mustafa Khammash – Designing and Building Adaptive Genetic Control Systems
March 14th, 2024 Adaptation is a recurring theme in biology, offering vital survival mechanisms in dynamic environments through precise regulation of physiological variables. This talk dives into the intriguing concept of robust perfect adaptation (RPA), a phenomenon where a system maintains a specific variable at a setpoint despite persistent perturbations. The objective of this talk…
Nelly Litvak – Projection methods for community detection in complex networks
December 5th, 2023 Community detection is one of most prominent tasks in the analysis of complex networks such as social networks, biological networks, and the world wide web. A community is loosely defined as a group of nodes that are more densely connected to each other than to the rest of the network. These could…
Robert Harper – A Cost-Aware Logical Framefork
October 17th, 2023 The computational view of intuitionistic dependent type theory is as an intrinsic logic of (functional) programs in which types are viewed as specifications of their behavior. Equational reasoning is particularly relevant in the functional case, where correctness can be formulated as equality between two implementations of the same behavior. Besides behavior, it…
Petra Mutzel – Graph Similarity
May 25th, 2023, 11:00 am Bio: Petra Mutzel is professor of Computational Analytics at the University of Bonn, where she is also the scientific director of the High Performance Computing and Analytics Lab at the Digital Science Center. Before she was professor at TU Dortmund University and at Vienna University of Technology. She received her…
