Clement Mouhot ( French: [muo] ; born 19 August 1978) is a French mathematician and academic. He is Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge . His research is primarily in partial differential equations and mathematical physics ( statistical mechanics , Boltzmann equation , Vlasov equation ).

Biography [ edit ]

Mouhot obtained his PhD in 2004 ^[1] under the supervision of Cedric Villani at the Ecole normale superieure de Lyon . ^[2]

Since 2011, he is Associate editor of Acta Applicandae Mathematicae ^[3] and of the Journal of Statistical Physics . ^[4] Since 2012, he is Co-Editor-in-chief of the ESAIM Proceedings. ^[5] Since 2014 he is Associate editor of Communications in Mathematical Physics . ^[6]

His work "On Landau damping" ^[7] with Villani (published in 2011) was quoted in the Fields Medal laudation of Villani in 2010. ^[8] In 2013, his work "Kac's program in kinetic theory" ^[9] with Mischler was the subject of a Seminaire Bourbaki . Mouhot was an invited speaker at International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro in 2018, ^[10] and at the conference Dynamics, Equations and Applications in Krakow in 2019. ^[11]

In 2014 he was awarded the Whitehead Prize . ^[12] and the "Grand Prix Madame Victor Noury" of the French "Academie des sciences". ^[13] He has won the 2015/2016 Adams Prize ^[14] writing on the subject Applied Analysis.

In 2018, Mouhot helped organise a letter protesting Noah Carl 's appointment to a fellowship at St Edmund's College , with Mouhot and other signatories describing Carl's work on genetics and race as pseudoscience. ^[15]
