II UMI Meeting of PhD students

BUMI Collection

As announced during the II UMI Meeting of PhD students in Naples, a Thematic Collection has been opened on BUMI reserved for those of you who wish to submit a contribution. 


Editorial Committee:

Alessandra Bernardi, Benedetta Morini, Gioconda Moscariello, Matteo Viale.


The deadline for submission of contributions is February 28, 2025. Contributions must be submitted through the journal's electronic platform.

TENORS

TENORS (Tensor modEliNg, geOmetRy and optimiSation)  is a  Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network / Joint Doctorate (2024-2027), 


   15 PhD positions


The objective of TENORS is to conduct advanced research that addresses critical challenges in the fields of tensor modeling and computation, joining forces from algebraic geometry, global optimisation, numerical computation, high performance computing, data science, quantum physics.


It aims to feed an innovative and ambitious joint-PhD program to train highly qualified young scientists in new scientific and technological knowledge.

The PhD  candidates will obtain joint/double Phd diplomas from reputed universities within TENORS project.

Trento hosts:

DC1 (Inria-UniTN): Geometry of extensor varieties
DC 9 (UniTN-Inria): Algorithms for Tensor Decomposition
DC 10 (UniTN- MPI): Geometry of tensor network varieties for quantum condensed matter physics

We are a group of geometers and algebraists based in Italy, whose common research interests lie within the theory of tensors from the commutative algebraic, the birational algebro-geometric, and the applied viewpoints. Our research team cultivates a collaborative atmosphere by means of joint seminars and collective activities (see the "Activities" tab) that foster the growth of its members. We also have a long track record of joint publications. 

Our research is suported by the Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca (Ministry of University and Research) through the award of four research grants within the scheme PRIN 2022. We have been recruiting a number of postdocs (see the "Job opportunities" tab for info), who naturally blended in our team and took part in our activities.
