Welcome.

This blog is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network POEMA.

Let me introduce myself: I am Tobias Metzlaff, doctoral researcher at INRIA Méditerranée, ESR 10 of the POEMA network and M.Sc. graduate from RWTH Aachen University.
The first weeks of my PhD have passed and I feel very welcomed by the fellow researchers of INRIA.
Although from several different fields, we all strive for the same goal: inventer le monde numérique!
Therefore, I am happy to be given the opportunity to be part of both, the European network and the research center's team Aromath.

Together with my supervisor, Evelyne Hubert, we will explore the applications of moment methods to polynomial optimization with techniques from group theory, computational algebra and representation theory.
This topic combines several fields from pure and applied mathematics and I am sure, we will discover new, fascinating results.
Discussions with other researchers are essential for a mathematician, and so I am glad to share an office with the other POEMA ESR at INRIA: Lorenzo Baldi.

I am looking forward to share future research experiences and thoughts here.

Thank you Poema!

 The past half year was very eventful with many highlights. After the ISSAC conference and the summer break, the last Poema workshop took place in Paris. The exciting talks were accompanied by concluding scientific discussion. In the following months, my work was devoted to finalizing my doctoral thesis. The defense took place in December at Inria in front of the jury formed by  Christine Bachoc , Laurent Baratchart , Evelyne Hubert , Victor Magron , Gabriele Nebe and Frédéric Patras . With the new year began a new era: I started a postdoctoral research position at the University of Kaiserslautern with Ulrich Thiel . I want to take this occasion to thank the members and organizers of the Poema network. It gave me the possibility to explore new frontiers as a researcher and opened international opportunities. The bonds we formed over the last three years will surely give rise to new collaborations and joint works in the future.

POEMA Learning Week and CIRM Conference

 The last two months were quite eventful in terms of academic events and exchange: At the second POEMA Learning Week in Toulouse, the ESRs of POEMA could finally meet again in person after one and a half year since the first workshop in Florence. This large gap showed, how much the ESRs have grown and developed in their work. Luckily, I could also meet with Philippe Moustrou , who is now at Bordeaux, to discuss about our joint work. After this learning week, we prepared for a CIRM conference on root systems in modern analysis . This conference took place last week at Luminy, Marseille and my supervisor Evelyne Hubert and I each gave a talk. The slides can be found here .

Secondment in Tromsø and POEMA Workshop

 This month, I began my secondment in Tromsø at the UiT Norges arktiske universitet together with Cordian Riener . After a ten-days quarantine, I am now able to work from an office in the department of mathematics, where I also met my fellow ESR Sebastian Debus and more people from the algebra research group. Last week we all participated in the POEMA workshop and the following ESR-day. It was a good occasion to see, how far we all got with our research after roughly one year and to find out what the plans for the future are.
