#LMBA- Laboratoire de mathématiques Bretagne Atlantique-Vannes#
Cheng REN LMBA-UBS, 2020
Can you introduce yourself, your field of research and where you get your interest in mathematics from?
I received the B.S., M.S. and Ph. D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC, Chengdu, China), and I am a lecture at School of Electrical Engineering and Information in Southwest Petroleum University (Chengdu, China). From 1st September 2019 to 31 August 2020, I am a visiting scholar in LMBA, University of South Brittany, sponsored by Special Program for Talents Training in Western Region of China Scholarship Council. My research interests include network optimization, information-centric networking and software-defined networking. In my research work, mathematical models and methods and programming technique are very important; we usually formulate the network resource allocation problem as a programming model. In particular, classic mathematical models such as Hidden Markov Model (HMM) are utilized to find a solution which is optimal in some sense
What are your current activities at the Lebesgue Center? How is your stay here going scientifically speaking?
Recently, I focus on optimizing the network function placement in software defined networks, where the HMM is utilized to realize optimal placement for service function chaining. LMBA offers me a very good research platform which benefits my work greatly.
What are your first impressions about your stay in France and particularly in "far west" Britanny?
Brittany is absolutely a wonderful place, where people are happy and friendly.
What positive and negative points will you keep in mind from your experience at Henri Lebesgue centre?
If there is a chance, I would like to visit again LMBA in the future. The experience gives me good memories. It is a little pity that the conditions become more complicated because of Covid-19.
How do you project yourself in mathematics?
I will continue to use mathematical theories in network optimization to solve further practical problems.
#LMJL- Laboratoire de Mathématiques -Nantes# Thi Ngoc Anh NGUYEN LMJL, 2020
Can you introduce yourself, your field of research and where you get your interest in mathematics from?
My name is NGUYEN Thi Ngoc Anh. I am interested in algebraic geometry and enumerative geometry. My interest in mathematics comes from the math teachers’ inspiration since I was at high school.
What are your current activities at the Lebesgue Center? How is your stay here going scientifically speaking?
At present, I am a second year phD student in the laboratory LMJL, Nantes. I appreciate the passing time here with my superb advisor and my colleges although my research becomes more difficulty than I imagine.
Why did you choose to come to Rennes / Nantes / Angers / Brest / Vannes and how (well or bad) have you been welcome?
I choose Nantes because of the advice of my math professors and because of the beauty of this city. I actually feel home thank to the welcome atmosphere most of the time from the nantais, friends and professors here.
What are your first impressions about your stay in France and particularly in "far west" Britanny?
I am very impressed about the well-developed public transportations in this area. I get used to the tropical weather then it makes me no difficulty of living here.
What positive and negative points will you keep in mind from your experience at Henri Lebesgue centre?
The positive point of CHL might be the opportunity of studying for foreigner students in this area. I don’t think of any negative point.
How do you project yourself in mathematics?
I am about to finish my thesis and continue to do the research as well as teaching maths, if possible I prefer working in France or else in Vietnam.
