Maxime Lucas is an FNRS Research Fellow in the Department of Mathematics and a member of the naXys Institute. He works on complex systems within the "Network Dynamics" cluster headed by Professor Timoteo Carletti. He is co-author of two papers on complex systems, recently published in prestigious journals Nature Physics and Physical Reviews Letters.

Networks are fundamental to the modelling of complex systems, systems composed of an incredibly large number of interacting parts. Applications are numerous, in neuroscience, epidemiology, but also in computer science and engineering. A collaboration between the University of Catania (Italy) and the University of Namur, led by Professor Timoteo Carletti of the Department of Mathematics (naXys Institute), has developed a new formalism that allows the modelling of systems where several parts interact at the same time (multi-body) and in an asymmetric way. This research has been published in the prestigious journal Communication Physics, part of the Nature group.

After undergraduate and graduate studies in applied mathematics at UNamur, Johan Barthelemy joined the University of Wollongong (UoW) in Australia. An expert in artificial intelligence, he now works for NVIDIA while devoting part of his time to research, mainly for the Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future (SAEF) program. A commitment that led him to participate recently in a mission to Antarctica.

Mathematics graduates are rare. And yet, many employers are looking for them: banks, insurance companies, consultancy firms, private and university research centres, schools... To help its students identify the possibilities open to them, the Mathematics Department invited them to meet four alumni who are currently working as business analysts, data analysts, teachers, risk directors and actuary.

Professor Timoteo Carletti of the University of Namur has just published in the prestigious journal Nature Physics in collaboration with Professor Ginestra Bianconi of Queen Mary University of London and eight other international researchers. This groundbreaking study could lead to the development of new AI algorithms, new ways of studying brain function, or breakthroughs in disciplines such as physics, climate science, finance and many others.

Designed to promote scientific knowledge in overseas countries, the Royal Academy of Overseas Sciences (RAOS) is an independent, multidisciplinary, national and international forum serving Science in overseas countries. Professor of geology at UNamur, Johan Yans has just been appointed as a new member of ARSOM.

Do you know the rivulus? It is a small fish that lives in the Caribbean and has some amazing characteristics. It is indeed capable of self-fertilisation! But in this case, what happens to genetic diversity, which is essential for the evolution of a species? Welcome in the mangroves of Florida and Belize to find an answer.

From 11 to 13 May 2022, a hundred or so scientists and actors from the economic and cultural world gathered at UNamur to discuss the issue of water pollution. The aim? To share and enrich knowledge, but also to alert and inform about its long-term effects on fauna, flora and human beings. Scientific sessions, workshops and a conference for the public were on the programme for these three days.

Welcome to the Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities at UNamur!

History explores the human past in all its complexity: populations, economies, political techniques, religions, ideologies, arts... It borrows from the human sciences the questions and methods that enable us to grasp correlations, detect genesis, in a word, understand the human adventure. History also looks to the future! To prepare for the future, you act today on the basis of your knowledge of the past!

Set out to discover the privileged subjects of the archaeologist and art historian, and discover the works of art and material witnesses of the past and present! Training in art history and archaeology teaches you to identify all artistic and technical achievements, from their origins to the present day, to place them in context, to study the evolution of forms and their socio-cultural, political, economic, religious and aesthetic significance.
