A word from the alumni : Julien Prando

My name is Julien Prando, and I am currently a PhD student at the Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann (LJK) at Université Grenoble Alpes in France. My PhD thesis is entitled ”Distributionally Robust Shape Optimization Problem,” which builds upon the master’s internship I completed in the same laboratory, focused on ”Distributionally Robust Optimization.” Prior to my PhD, I completed a Master’s program with a strong foundational background: first with an ”M1 Maths Générales” year, followed by the ”M2 Préparation à l’Agrégation.” This path culminated in obtaining the Agrégation in Mathematics. Following this achievement, I decided to pursue further studies in Applied Mathematics. I chose the MSIAM program because it offers the opportunity to explore a wide variety of fields, allowing me to find my area of interest in order to pursue into a PhD thesis. I highly recommend this master’s program; both the practical and theoretical courses are of outstanding quality.
