Didier Auroux earned his Ph.D. in applied mathematics from the Université Nice Sophia Antipolis in 2003. Prior to that, he pursued his education at the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon from 1997 to 2001. Serving as a lecturer at the Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse 3 from 2004 to 2008, he later assumed the role of a professor of applied mathematics at the Université Nice Sophia Antipolis, now Université Côte d'Azur, starting in 2009. Presently, he holds the position of director at the Center of Modeling, Simulation, and Interactions (MSI).
His research interests focus on numerical methods and their diverse applications, including data assimilation, geophysics, image processing, as well as broader domains such as scientific computing, optimal control, and inverse problems. His ongoing work involves the development of fast algorithms, based on observers, to facilitate parameter estimation and trajectory identification. This extends to calibrating models of fluid flows and forecasting their evolution with precision.

Marco Milanesio earned his PhD in Computer Science at the University of Turin (Italy) in 2010, with a thesis on "Layering Multi-Purpose Applications over Structured and Dependable P2P Systems". During his PhD, he worked on the security aspects of distributed systems, their architectures and features.
From 2011 to 2017, he was research engineer at Eurecom in the "Network and Security" (until 2016) and "Data Science" departments, where he worked on several topics: network performance measurements, QoE / QoS, distributed storage, virtualization, time series analysis and forecasting.
He joined the MSI in September 2017.
