Virginie Ehrlacher is a Professor at CERMICS, École des Ponts ParisTech (ENPC), France. She specializes in applied mathematics with a focus on high-dimensional problems, numerical analysis, and computational modeling. Her work bridges quantum chemistry, materials science, and machine learning through innovative mathematical frameworks. Education includes: PhD in Mathematics (2012) from ENPC: Mathematical models in quantum chemistry and uncertainty quantification Habilitation (2020) from Université Paris-Dauphine: Mathematical and numerical analysis of high-dimensional and multiscale problems in materials science Research spans multiscale modeling, tensor decompositions for high-dimensional systems, cross-diffusion equations, and scientific machine learning. Her work frequently addresses challenges in quantum mechanics, materials science, and computational physics using advanced numerical techniques. Publications emphasize: Algorithms for high-dimensional PDEs and eigenvalue problems Model reduction techniques (tensor networks, reduced basis methods) Cross-diffusion systems with biological/physical applications Neural networks for scientific computing Awards and distinctions: Irène Joliot-Curie Prize (2023) Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Mérite (2025) Leadership includes: ERC Starting Grant HighLEAP (2023–2028) ERC Synergy project EMC2 (2020–2026) ANR JCJC project COMODO (2019–2023) She co-leads the EMS Topical Activity Group on Scientific Machine Learning. Affiliated with the CERMICS laboratory, she collaborates on interdisciplinary teams tackling multiscale and data-driven modeling challenges.
