The team
Béatrice de Tilière
DIRECTOR
Béatrice de Tilière is a professor at Université Paris-Dauphine PSL. She graduated from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and is the holder of a PhD from Université Paris-Sud, Orsay (Paris-Saclay). She was previously maître de conférences (associate professor) at Université Paris 6 (Sorbonne Université) and professor at Université Paris-Créteil. She works in statistical mechanics with a particular interest in exactly soluble models such as the dimer model or the Ising model. In 2017, she was awarded the CNRS Bronze Medal and was a junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France (2017-2022).
Guillaume Chapuy
Deputy Director
Guillaume Chapuy is a former student at ENS Ulm. He defended his thesis in 2009 at École polytechnique on the "Bijective combinatorics of higher-gender maps". He has been a researcher at CNRS since 2010 and a CNRS Research Director at IRIF since 2019. Specialist in enumerative combinatorics, discrete probabilities and algebraic combinatorics, he is particularly interested in maps and related combinatorial or algebraic objects, as well as the interactions of map combinatorics with the theory of topological recurrence and integrable hierarchies.
Jean-François Dat
Deputy Director
Jean-François Dat is a former student at the ENS Ulm and the helder a PhD from the University Paris 7 (2000) on (Modular) Representations of finite type of p-adic groups. Since 2007, he is a professor of mathematics at Sorbonne University and a member of the IMJ-PRG Automorphic Forms project. He was previously a CNRS research fellow at the University Paris 13, and a junior member of the IUF from 2010 to 2015. He is interested in the interactions between Representation Theory, Algebraic Geometry, and Number Theory, in the wake of those revealed notably by Langlands and Shimura during the 1960s. His work concerns the representation theory of p-adic or finite reductive groups, the cohomology of symmetric Drinfeld spaces, and more recently the construction of parameter moduli spaces useful for the recent categorization conjectures of the local Langlands program.
