The Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann (LJK) is a research center in applied mathematics and computer graphics. Bringing together 15 teams from statistics to cryptology and computer vision, the LJK fosters research in computational modeling, that links a wide spectrum of mathematical and computational techniques, from analysis to algorithms. A second trademark of the research developed at the LJK is its marked interdisciplinary character. A recent CNRS survey identifies more than 50 current or recent interactions with scientists from other fields, that resulted in co-authored publications. Interactions are particularly strong with biology, health-sciences, environmental sciences and physics. As a result, LJK members are actively contributing to some of the great scientific challenges of our time, but also stimulate new mathematical development motivated by other sciences. Examples of applications of our research include new numerical models for fluid/structure interactions, coupling of models and data assimilation for meteorology, verification and analysis of hybrid systems, stochastic optimization and stochastic algorithms, statistical methods for image analysis and data classification, novel methods for image classification that allow dealing with very large databases, and real time animation of physically plausible complex scenes. The LJK has recently launched two exciting projects that should boost its attractivity:
Since 2007, 22 ANR projects have been coordinated by members of the LJK, as well as 2 FP6 STREPS and 2 Marie-Curie training networks, 2 national GDR. Members of the LJK have organized several major national and international conferences (e.g. SMAI 2007, ECCV 2008).In terms of valorisation, the LJK has contracts with several industrial partners, either large groups (e.g. AXA, Biomérieux, Dassault, GDF Suez, EDF, Xerox) or small businesses (e.g. Dalmin SPA, Milpix, Infiniscale).
