Jason Frank in 2011, at the time group leader of CWI’s Computational and Stochastic Dynamics
research group
Sergiy Zhuk visited my group at CWI while he was a
fellow at
INRIA. We found his work on data assimilation and his individual enthusiasm so interesting that we
offered
him a
subsequent ERCIM Fellowship in Amsterdam. Before the term of his appointment had passed, he was hired by
IBM
Research in Dublin, where he will direct a research group on assimilation of satellite data for
deduction of
ocean flows, and maintain collaborations with us. Overall this was a great opportunity for both fellow
and
host,
and I will be sure to keep an eye open for future ERCIM applicants.
