The TENORS Workshop 2 – Computational Methods for Tensors in Mathematics and Quantum Physics took place from 13 to 17 July 2026 at the University of Trento, Italy, bringing together researchers, invited speakers and TENORS Doctoral Candidates (DCs) for a week of scientific exchange and training.
For my secondment, I moved to Toulouse to join the polynomial optimization group at CNRS-LAAS. As someone working in polynomial optimization, Toulouse is a particularly exciting place to do research: the subject has a long history there, with Jean Bernard Lasserre’s work on moment and sum-of-squares methods having played a…
After completing my first year at ICFO in Barcelona under the supervision of Antonio Acín, it was time for me to move to Toulouse and work with Victor Magron at LAAS-CNRS for 10 months. These 10 months have been an enriching experience for me, due to fruitful collaborations within and…
Francesco Maria Mascarin (DC6) is about to complete his secondment at CWI Amsterdam, under the supervision of Monique Laurent, after almost one year of collaboration.
I started my secondment at the University of Trento in September 2025 under the supervision of Alessandra Bernardi.
After 10 months in Antibes working with the Aromath group at Inria for my doctoral secondment, my days on the fantastic Côte d’Azur are coming to an end.
My industrial secondment took place over two months (July and August) in Paris at the optimization firm Artelys. I really enjoyed spending the summer in Paris, which contrasted Konstanz, the small city where I was living just beforehand. I worked with fellow TENORS students Yassine Koubaa and Luca Wellmeier.
We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the TENORS Doctoral Days 2026, taking place on 25–27 November 2026 at the University of Florence, Italy.
This is the workshop on “Real Algebraic Geometry, Optimization, and Machine Learning” to be organised at CIRM Luminy (near Marseille) on 5-9 April 2027.
By Henri Linus Breloer – April 2026 Hankel matrices arise in a variety of contexts. They play a key role in statistics and tensor methods. From the perspective of algebraic geometry, the space of Hankel matrices with rank no greater than some fixed r forms an affine variety. These spaces…
