Scientific summary
My main research interest are the study of the asymptotic properties of spatial branching processes, such as the branching random walk and the branching Brownian motion, as well as their application to statistical physics, informatics and biology. My reseach themes include the following:
- Branching random walks: Particles systems in which particles move and reproduce independently. Spreading speed, large deviations, inhomogeneities in time, selection.
- Statistical physics models: Derrida--Retaux model, spin glasses, branching-selection particles systems.
- Coalescent processses: Description and statistical properties of genealogies of samples in a large population.
