Doctoral training programme

The CMA is responsible for the Control, Optimization and Prospective (COP) doctoral specialty, which is part of the MINES-ParisTech doctoral training program and is co-accredited with the Doctoral School STIC (information and communication sciences and technologies) n° 84 at Nice Sophia-Antipolis University.
It covers the following themes:

• Optimization and operational research
• Intertemporal and multi-scale optimization models of the MARKAL/TIMES family
• Control and decision-making mathematics
• Long-term prospective modeling
• Application of optimization techniques to:
         - energy, carbon and electricity markets
         - market risk
         - finance
• Prospective of Energy-Climate issues for Smart Cities, Smart Grids, biofuels, bioenergies (biomass), water, low-carbon society (transport, residential, tertiary, industry, electricity industry), electric vehicles and carbon capture and sequestration technologies
• Stochastic control
• Decision-support
• Identification and inverse problems in biomedical and geophysical applications
• Variational formulations of electromagnetism applied to the issues of electric systems (reliability, losses, networks)
• Embedded critical systems by reactive synchronous language
• Recognition of behaviors by hidden Markov models and reactive synchronous languages
