Statistical Physics of Non Equilibrium Quantum Phenomena

After studies at Ecole normale supérieure (ENS Paris), Yves Pomeau finished his PhD in Plasma Physics, at Université Paris 11 in 1970. He has been one of the leaders of statistical physics with many awards and prizes: Ricard Prize (highest prize) of the French Physical Society-1985, Prize Perronnet-Bettancourt of the Government of Spain-1993, Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur (highest French order of merit)-1991, corresponding member of L’Académie des Sciences Paris-1987, member of L’Académie Catholique de France-2018, Boltzmann Medal (highest distinction in statistical physics)-2016. He was also one of the founders of the Laboratoire de Physique Statistique, ENS Paris.

Minh-Binh Tran finished his PhD in mathematics at Université Paris 13 in 2011. His research is interdisciplinary, with focus on statistical physics, partial differential equations, kinetic theory, machine learning and high performance computing. He has written more than 30 research articles, incollaboration with mathematicians, physicists, chemists and engineers from renown research institutions in the US, Europe and Asia.
