The Scientific Committee provides advice on the programs and strategic directions of MIMS. The committee promotes awareness within the mathematical community and society at large of the activities of MIMS. It will help in fostering collaboration between MIMS and various institutes or mathematical departments around the world.

  Professor Yves Meyer, Honorary Chairman.

Yves Meyer is a member of the French Academy of Science, a Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences and a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. He was awarded the 1970 Salem Prize and the 2010 Gauss Prize for fundamental contributions to number theory, operator theory and harmonic analysis, and his pivotal role in the development of wavelets and multiresolution analysis.  The Gauss prize is awarded jointly by the International Mathematical Union and the German Mathematical Society for advances in mathematics that have had an impact outside the field. In 2017 Yves Meyer received the prestigious Abel Prize "for his pivotal role in the development of the mathematical theory of wavelets." The diversity of his work, reflected in its broad range of application, reflects his conviction that intellectual vitality is kept alive by facing fresh challenges.

  François Lalonde

François Lalonde currently holds the Canada Research Chair in the field of Symplectic Geometry and Topology at the Mathematics and Statistics Department of the Université de Montréal. He was an invited speaker at the ICM in Madrid in 2006, the 2005 Stanford Distinguished Lecturer and the 2005 Floer Memorial Lecturer at Berkeley. He was the former Director of the Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM), the first institute of research in mathematical sciences founded in Canada in 1969. A member of the Royal Society of Canada since 1997, François Lalonde's research is mainly in the field of Symplectic geometry and topology. From 1996 to 2000, he founded and directed the Institut des sciences mathématiques (ISM), a consortium of six Québec universities (Montréal, McGill, UQAM, Concordia, Laval and Sherbrooke) which was the first unified doctoral school in the world. Mr. Lalonde is also the founder and former director of the "Centre interuniversitaire de recherche en géométrie différentielle et en topologie" (CIRGET), of the INTRIQ in Quantum computing, and of the Unité mixte internationale (UMI) of CNRS at Montréal. Two of the members of his institute won in 2018 and 2019 the « Nobel prize » in Computer sciences (Yoshua Bengio, Turing Prize) and the Wolf prize in physics (Gilles Brassard) that usually leads to the Nobel prize in physics. A mathematician and physicist by training, François Lalonde holds a Doctorat d’Etat (1985) from Orsay Center in Paris.
