Master's degree in Modelling, Data Analysis and Scientific Computing (MADOCS)

Director: Bernard.Chalmond @ u-cergy.fr

Université de Cergy-Pontoise


R&D relies more and more on computational methods, creating new jobs with new profiles. These profiles are multi-competence, multi-disciplinary, with a basis in applied maths, in computer science and in physics.

The Master's degree in Modelling, Data Analysis and Scientific Computing (the initials in French giving "MADOCS") has three majors, which may be combined in various proportions: 

- TI for Information Processing ( Coordination: Dominique.Laurent @ u-cergy.fr )
- VS for Scientific Vision ( Coordination: Armen.Shirikyan @ u-cergy.fr )
- CS for Scientific Computing ( Coordination: Francois.Dunlop @ u-cergy.fr )

Job outlook
R&D engineer, with competence in :
- scientific programming (C, Java, SAS, Matlab, data bases, algorithmics) ;
- computational techniques for modelling and simulation (optimisation, CAD, finite elements, Monte Carlo, dynamical systems) ;
- modelisation and processing of data (data warehousing, data mining, etc) ;
- interpretation of physical phenomena (fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, electromagnetism, sismology).

Jobs will be found in research departments and design offices in the industry, and also in consulting firms.

Admission
Into M1 (first year) : from a three-year Bachelor's degree in maths, physics or computer science.
Into M2 : from M1-MADOCS or by dossier+interview from 4-year university or engineering school education, with a curriculum including maths, physics and/or computer science.
