The team
Isabelle Gallagher
DIRECTOR
Isabelle Gallagher is a professor at the Université Paris-Diderot, and on secondment to the Departement de Mathematiques et Applications de l'École Normale Supérieure in Paris. She graduated from the Ecole Polytechnique in 1998 with a PhD from Sorbonne University (formerly UPMC) and was previously a CNRS researcher at the Université Paris Sud and at the Ecole Polytechnique.
sabelle Gallagher is a specialist in nonlinear partial differential equations, and in particular in fluid mechanics. She and her collaborators have made great progress on the 6th Hilbert problem, by trying to reconcile the microscopic and macroscopic views of fluid description.
Her work has been recognized by numerous awards, such as the Paul Doistau-Émile Blutet Prize 2008 and the Sophie Germain Prize 2018 of the Academy of Sciences, or the CNRS Silver Medal in 2016.
Guillaume Chapuy
Deputy Director
Guillaume Chapuy is a CNRS research director at IRIF and a specialist in enumerative combinatorics, analysis of random discrete structures and algebraic combinatorics. He is particularly interested in maps and related combinatorial or algebraic objects. He is in charge of the ERC project CombiTop, dedicated to the combinatorics of maps.

Jean-François Dat
Deputy Director
Jean-François Dat is a former student of 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.
