The team

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).

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.

Gaël Octavia graduated from Télécom Sud-Paris (formerly Télécom INT) in 2001. She started out as an information systems engineer before becoming a scientific journalist. From 2002 to 2008, she worked for the popular mathematics magazine Tangente as editor and general secretary. She joined the Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris in February 2008 as head of communication.

Mathieu Simon holds a Master Grande École degree from Montpellier Business School. Over the past six years, he has worked in the International Relations Department of the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, where he was responsible for student mobility and European project management. He will join the Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris team in June 2023 as European Project Manager.

Holder of a BTS "Assistant Manager" and a professional degree in "Business Management and Administration", Kevin Ledocq worked at Inria for 2 years before joining the Foundation's team in May 2014 as a Management Assistant.

Thomas Duyckaerts is Professor of Mathematics at Sorbonne Paris Nord University. D. from Université Paris Sud Orsay in 2004, he was a lecturer at Université de Cergy-Pontoise, where he defended his HDR in 2010. He joined the LAGA at Université Sorbonne Paris Nord in 2011. His main area of research concerns the qualitative study of nonlinear waves, and in particular solutions of the wave equation and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
