I am currently a Senior Researcher (Directeur de Recherches) at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Toulouse, France

 
I was trained at the Ecole Normale Supérieure ‘Rue d’Ulm’ in Paris and my first appointment was in Ecole Polytechnique (Palaiseau, France) as a Junior Researcher (Charge de Recherches) at CNRS. I was then appointed as a full Professor in Ecole Normale Superieure ‘Cachan’ before joining back the CNRS in Toulouse where I helped setting up the Applied Math group MIP (Mathematics for Industry and Physics), which is now a part of the ‘Institut de Mathematiques de Toulouse’.
 
 
I am interested in collective dynamics, decision making and self-organization in complex systems coming from biology and social sciences. The methods I use combine analysis, asymptotic theory and multiscale numerical techniques. My earlier interests were in plasma physics, rarefied gas dynamics and semiconductor modeling and I try to stay alert on these subjects as well.
