Last March, Hans Reimann, a Master 2 student specialised in Mathematics for Data Assimilation of the University of Potsdam had the great opportunity to embark on a research internship in France, in the mathematics research institute (IRMAR) of the University of Rennes.
Thanks to the EDUC Alliance, the students and the teachers of the mathematics department can collaborate on fascinating topics.
Research Highlights:
- Worked on the intersection of Bayesian Statistics, Change Point Detection and Geometrical Data Structure
- Collaborated with brilliant researchers like Clément Levrard and visited lectures by field leaders such as Gabriel Peyré
- Gained hands-on experience with methods in Topological Data Analysis
- Met with PhD students who inspired Hans to pursue the research path.
Cultural Highlights:
-
Explored the beautiful city of Rennes with highlights such as the Marché des Lices, the magnificent old town and its stunning parks and churches
- Tasted amazing local cuisine like galettes
- Met great people from all around the world
This 1-month experience was more than just a chance to enhance his research skills: it was also a deep dive into a new culture and into a new academic community! This internship has shaped Hans’ perspective on research and global collaboration. A nice reminder that science knows no borders, and the best ideas come from diverse minds working together.
We are looking forward to seeing how Hans will use the benefits of this experience in his future endeavours! Wishing him a lot of success!
Thanks to the development of our EDUC platform of internships, the number of students benefiting from such opportunities in the EDUC Alliance will increase!
