Scientific Breakfast with Yilin Wang in London

Following the scientific breakfast organized in July 2023 with Thibault Damour, theoretical physicist and Professor Emeritus at IHES, who gave a talk entitled “Proust and Einstein: In Search of Time,” the Institute returned to the British capital in June 2024.

The Institute gathered its London community on June 19^th for a scientific breakfast with Yilin Wang, junior professor of mathematics at IHES since 2022. Yilin Wang, introduced by Rama Cont, Professor of Mathematics and Chair of Mathematical Finance at the University of Oxford and regular visitor at IHES, proposed a talk entitled “Fractals in Nature and Mathematics.” More than fifty friends of the Institute gathered to discover the fractals that surround us, as well as their place in mathematical research.

This event was organized with the support of the Department of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation of the French Embassy in the United Kingdom for the second year in a row, thus strengthening the collaboration between the Institute and the French Embassy in the United Kingdom.
