Nicolas Clozeau, PhD

I am an associate professor at the university of Toulon, where I am part of the Mathematical Institute of Toulon (IMATH). Before that, I was a postdoc researcher at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) in the group of Prof. Julian Fischer.

My research interests lie on the study of partial differential equations or variational models describing physical phenomena in a random environment, mainly focusing on the quantitative stochastic homogenization theory both in theoretical and numerical aspects. From a mathematical point of view, my research aims at combining tools from analysis of partial differential equations, the calculus of variations and probability theory.

Here is a list of my current research interests: 

• Quantitative theory of stochastic homogenization of elliptic PDEs and integral functionals

• Numerical methods in stochastic homogenization of elliptic PDEs

• Quantitative theory of optimal random matching problems

• Homogenization of singular SPDEs

I obtained my PhD in September 2021 at the Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions (LJLL) and at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (MPI-MIS) under the co-supervision of Antoine Gloria and Felix Otto.
