Templates (Latex & Beamer)
- The PhD template is for writting a PhD thesis with a separate title page. This template aims at setting up all the necessary packages and create the base outline of a thesis.
- The beamer template is for presentations with an LMS-based style and exemples.
General tips and tools
- The package microtype helps improving the rendering of long text easily
- Quarto is an open-source librairy that enables to create dynamic scientific documents, presentations, and websites using Markdown, LaTeX, and a variety of programming languages (including python, R, etc.).
- The html presentations can then be translated into pdfs using decktape.
- install node
brew install node - install decktape
npm install -g decktape reveal --size=1600x1000 presentation.html presentation.pdf
- install node
- The html presentations can then be translated into pdfs using decktape.

NeuROM (Daby-Seesaram, Skardova, and Genet 2024)
A reduced-order modelling code used to create surrogate models based on an hybridisation of standard reduced-order modelling methods such as the PGD and Deep learning methods is public and notebooks with tutorials are also available.
