One of Professor Ray's main areas of work is multi-scale modeling. She cooperates with geoscientists to find out more about the composition and structure of soils. “The microstructure of the soil has a direct influence on its macroscopic behavior. One focus of my work is therefore to build bridges between these two scales,” explains Professor Ray. As the composition of soils is not static, but constantly changing, this places particular demands on multi-scale modeling of issues in this area. Soil plays an important role in questions of energy, sustainability, climate and the environment - as a reservoir for water and carbon and as a habitat for microorganisms. For example, multiscale modeling provides the basis for simulating the absorption of water and nutrients by roots as well as ideal living conditions for microorganisms - also as a basis of knowledge for combating hunger.

MIDS welcomes Prof. Pirmin Fontaine as a new member of the Institute

The graduate mathematician completed his doctorate in logistics and supply chain management at the Technical University of Munich. As a postdoc, he worked at CIRRELT, one of the world's leading research centers in the field of logistics and operations research, in Montreal, Canada. Mr. Fontaine has been a junior professor for Operations Management (with tenure track) at the KU's Faculty of Business Administration and Economics since 2019. From April, he will take over the Chair of Operations Management there.

In 2022, Wirtschafswoche recognized Pirmin Fontaine as one of the top 100 most research-intensive business economists (83rd out of 3600) and top 50 in the U40 ranking (43rd out of 500).
MIDS is very proud to be able to appoint him from the status of associate member to one of the eight full members.
An overview of all persons involved in the institute can be found HERE.

Pirmin Fontaine himself says: "I see myself at the interface between mathematics, computer science and economics. In MIDS, I have the great opportunity to work precisely at this interface."

The Data Science course, which is supervised by the professors at the institute, builds on precisely this focus and now benefits more than ever from the expertise of Prof. Fontaine and his team. You can find more information about this HERE.
