We are very excited to announce the first edition of the ANGE mini-workshop on “Astronomie Numérique dans le Grand Est” (Numerical Astronomy in the Grand Est).
The objective of this workshop is to disseminate recent, innovative work at the interface of numerical simulations and astronomy, to strengthen synergies between computer and universe sciences, and to bring together scientific communities from Nancy, Strasbourg, and the broader Grand Est region.
Program
The workshop will consist of a series of lectures covering research work at the crossroads of modern computer science and astronomy. The program will address a variety of topics, including optimal transport for cosmology; N-body simulations and deep learning for the analysis of stellar clusters; fusion techniques applied to James Webb Space Telescope images; and physics-informed neural networks as well as equation discovery for astrophysics.
More information on the program and invited speakers can be found on the dedicated pages.
Who, when, and where
The target audience consists primarily of academic researchers, but engineers from industry are also welcome. PhD and master students are warmly encouraged to attend.
The workshop will be held at Inria Centre at Université de Lorraine, Ada Lovelace building, on December 7th, 2026. People can also attend virtually. Registration is free but mandatory for logistics reasons.
Acknowledgements
We are grateful to the “Action Spécifique Numérique” (ASNum) of the INSU (Institut National des Sciences de l’Univers), CNRS, for financial support of the project “Enhancing the legacy of the π-DOC algorithm for globular cluster analysis”, coordinated by P. Bianchini and P. Magron (2026), that was helpful in organizing the ANGE workshop.
Many thanks to Anne-Lise Charbonnier and Clara Poloni for their support and help.
