Kilian Raschel, is Senior Researcher at CNRS, Laboratoire Angevin de Recherche en Mathématiques. Angers University, France. Dr. Kilian Raschel (CNRS) works on the connections between combinatorics and probability, a principal topic being random walks in cones seen from a combinatorial and a probabilistic point of view. An essential part in his research is the study of generating functions by counting paths. With coauthors, Kilian Raschel has proved two important conjectures in combinatorics, one by Bousquet-Melou-Mishna and one by Gessel. He has also worked on applications in biology, Martin boundary theory for Markov chains, discrete harmonic functions and certain problems in statistical mechanics.

Research fellow at CNRS, affected since January 2020 to IRIF (Institute for Research in Fundamental Computer Science), Paris-Cité University, France.

Topics:  combinatorial structures coming from problems in computer science, mathematics or physics. We use bijections, generating functions, random generation algorithms and asymptotic techniques to solve these problems. We enumerate combinatorial objects like partitions, permutations, trees, maps, graphs and polyominos. On all these themes, we focus on the enumerative aspect but we also interact with number theory, combinatorial physics and probability theory.

Curriculum Vitae

My research activity is centered on the modelling and numerical analysis of linear wave propagation phenomena, in the context of frequency domain electromagnetics and acoustics. My main interests concern:

• domain decomposition,

• boundary element methods,

• scientific computing,

• multi-scale problems,

• singularities in elliptic problems.

In the past, I have been leading coordinator of the research project NonlocalDD funded by the French National Research Agency (so-called ANR) for investigating boundary integral equations in conjunction with domain decomposition. Before that, I had been involved in the METAMATH project funded by ANR that focused on the modelling and numerical analysis of metamaterials. Below are four presentations that provide a glimpse at my research concerns

• Plenary talk at the WAVES conference, 2022,

• Talk at the seminar on PDE at Versailles university, 2015,

• Talk at the Journées Singulières Augmentées 2013,

• Talk at the seminar of Laboratoire Jacques Louis Lions, 2012.
