Josselin Garnier (born 18 June 1971) is a French mathematician.
Garnier studied from 1991 to 1994 at the École normale supérieure (master's degree) and received in 1996 his doctorate from the École polytechnique with thesis Ondes en milieux aleatoires (Waves in random media) under the supervision of Jean-Pierre Fouque. [1] In 2000 Garnier habilitated at Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris VI). In 2001 he became an assistant professor at the University of Toulouse. He became in 2005 an assistant professor and 2007 a full professor at Paris Diderot University (Paris VII). He works there at the Laboratoire de Probabilités et Modèles Aléatoires and the laboratory Jacques-Louis Lions.
Garnier deals with stochastic analysis of partial differential equations with applications in a variety of fields such as optics,plasma physics,Bose-Einstein condensates,telecommunications,antenna design,and image data analysis in disordered media,for example,in the seismological mapping of the subsurface in California. [2] Among other things,he worked on target design in the Laser Mégajoule experiment on inertial confinement fusion involving lasers. He proved the existence of solitons in disordered media and studied the time-reversal invariance of the propagation of waves in disordered media. He deals with the statistical approach to hydrodynamic instabilities and general hydrodynamic numerical modeling in complex environments.
He has research contracts for the Commissariat àl'énergie atomique (CEA) (of which he is a scientific member),the Électricitéde France (EDF),and the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS).
In 2008 he received the Felix Klein Prize from the European Mathematical Society. In 2007 he received the Blaise Pascal Prize from the French Academy of Sciences. In 2008 he was elected a member of the Institut Universitaire de France. In 2018 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro.
The European Mathematical Society (EMS) is a European organization dedicated to the development of mathematics in Europe. Its members are different mathematical societies in Europe, academic institutions and individual mathematicians. The current president is Jan Philip Solovej, professor at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Copenhagen.
Alain Aspect is a French physicist noted for his experimental work on quantum entanglement.
Léon Nicolas Brillouin was a French physicist. He made contributions to quantum mechanics, radio wave propagation in the atmosphere, solid-state physics, and information theory.
In seismology and other areas involving elastic waves, S waves, secondary waves, or shear waves are a type of elastic wave and are one of the two main types of elastic body waves, so named because they move through the body of an object, unlike surface waves.
David L. Fried was an American scientist, best known for his contributions to optics. Fried described what has come to be known as the Fried Parameter, or r0. The Fried Parameter is a measure of the strength of the turbulence in the atmosphere of Earth. The turbulence causes what is known as seeing in astronomy and usually limits the optical resolution of ground-based telescopes and the detail in their images of astronomical objects. The Fried Parameter describes the smallest diameter of a telescope aperture at which the image fidelity starts to suffer significantly from turbulent airflows in the atmosphere of Earth. The Fried Parameter may change quickly on the time scale of minutes, or less. Typical values for the Fried Parameter in the visible spectrum may range from less than one centimeter to some tens of centimeters at good astronomical sites.
Georges François Paul Marie Matheron was a French mathematician and civil engineer of mines, known as the founder of geostatistics and a co-founder of mathematical morphology. In 1968, he created the Centre de Géostatistique et de Morphologie Mathématique at the Paris School of Mines in Fontainebleau. He is known for his contributions on Kriging and mathematical morphology. His seminal work is posted for study and review to the Online Library of the Centre de Géostatistique, Fontainebleau, France.
Mathias Fink, born in 1945 in Grenoble, is a French physicist, professor at ESPCI Paris and member of the French Academy of Sciences.
George C. Papanicolaou is a Greek-American mathematician who specializes in applied and computational mathematics, partial differential equations, and stochastic processes. He is currently the Robert Grimmett Professor in Mathematics at Stanford University.
Speckle, speckle pattern, or speckle noise is a granular noise texture degrading the quality as a consequence of interference among wavefronts in coherent imaging systems, such as radar, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), medical ultrasound and optical coherence tomography. Speckle is not external noise; rather, it is an inherent fluctuation in diffuse reflections, because the scatterers are not identical for each cell, and the coherent illumination wave is highly sensitive to small variations in phase changes.
Jean-Philippe Bouchaud is a French physicist. He is co-founder and chairman of Capital Fund Management (CFM), adjunct professor at École Normale Supérieure and co-director of the CFM-Imperial Institute of Quantitative Finance at Imperial College London. He is a member of the French Academy of Sciences, and held the Bettencourt Innovation Chair at Collège de France in 2020.
Henri Abraham (1868–1943) was a French physicist who made important contributions to the science of radio waves. He performed some of the first measurements of the propagation velocity of radio waves, helped develop France's first triode vacuum tube, and with Eugene Bloch invented the astable multivibrator. He was murdered at Auschwitz during the Holocaust.
Jean Robieux was a French physicist. A graduate from École Polytechnique and Doctor of Science, he is a leading French specialist in laser and optronics. He is the former scientific director of the Research Center of Alcatel Mobile Phones at Marcoussis, and during many years, head of the Robotics college at the École centrale Paris. He is a chairman of the board of directors of the school and chairman of the Scientific Council. He followed in particular the development the materials department. He suggested the initial creation of the ECAM Rennes - Louis de Broglie school in 1988.
Jacques Charles Émile Jouguet was a French engineer and scientist, whose name is attached to the Chapman–Jouguet condition.
Laure Saint-Raymond is a French mathematician, and a professor of mathematics at Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES). She was previously a professor at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon. She is known for her work in partial differential equations, and in particular for her contributions to the mathematically rigorous study of the connections between interacting particle systems, the Boltzmann equation, and fluid mechanics. In 2008 she was awarded the European Mathematical Society Prize, with her citation reading:
Saint-Raymond is well known for her outstanding results on nonlinear partial differential equations in the dynamics of gases and plasmas and also in fluid dynamics. [...] Saint-Raymond is at the origin of several outstanding and difficult results in the field of nonlinear partial differential equations of mathematical physics. She is one of the most brilliant young mathematicians in her generation.
Camille Gutton was a French physicist who specialized in radioelectricity. He was responsible for various theoretical and practical advances. He followed some false leads such as research into the hypothetical N rays, which did not in fact exist, and attempts to explain anomalies in laboratory measurements of radio waves in ionized gases, which he thought might be due to positive ions exerting a quasi-elastic force on electrons. His work on very high frequency radio waves helped with the development of radar. He received various honours for his work, and in 1947 was a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Jacques Jean-Pierre Neveu was a Belgian mathematician, specializing in probability theory. He is one of the founders of the French school of probability and statistics.
Emmanuel Trélat is a French mathematician.
Stéphan Fauve is a French physicist. He is a professor at the École normale supérieure (ENS) in Paris, a member of the ENS Physics Laboratory.
Michel Campillo is a French seismologist and geophysicist who is currently a professor at Grenoble Alpes University.
Patrick Mora is a French theoretical plasma physicist who specializes in laser-plasma interactions. He was awarded the 2014 Hannes Alfvén Prize and 2019 Edward Teller Award for his contributions to the field of laser-plasma physics.
