Invited researchers

Yves Barral works in biology, guided by the question of the links between mathematics and biology, and why these links remain confused and little explored.

Clément Mouhot is a professor of mathematics at the University of Cambridge. He is interested in the mathematical analysis of the foundations of statistical mechanics, at the interface of partial differential equations, probabilities, and functional inequalities.

Pierre Raphael is the Herchel Smith Professor of Pure Mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics of Cambridge.

His research on non-linear partial differential equations aims at the description of energy concentration mechanisms and singularity formation during the propagation of non-linear waves

Curtis McMullen is Cabot Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University.

Gérard Ben Arous is a professor of mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University and a specialist in probability theory and its applications.

Dennis Gaitsgory is a professor of mathematics at Max-Planck-Institute for Mathematics, Bonn, known for his research on the geometric Langlands program.

Takeshi Saito, professor of mathematics at the University of Tokyo, is an expert in arithmetic geometry, known especially for his fundamental contributions to ramification theory of local fields and I-adic sheaves, étale cohomology, and Galois representations.

Anton Kapustin is a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology. He is interested in quantum field theory in general, with applications to particle physics and condensed matter theory.

Dam Thanh Son is a Professor of Physics at the University of Chicago. He is interested in a wide range of problems in theoretical physics, including the fractional quantum Hall effect, physics of the quark/gluon plasma, gauge/gravity duality, physics of cold atom, and other topics.

Robert C. Penner is Visiting Researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles.
