FORIEN NICOLAS - CV

Biography

My research work deals with several discrete probability models originating from statistical mechanics, such as activated random walks, sandpile models, spin models or percolation.

I completed my PhD at ENS Paris, under the supervision of Raphaël Cerf, about self-organized criticality. Then, I was a temporary teaching and research assistant ("Attaché Temporaire d'Enseignement et de Recherche") at Aix-Marseille Université, where I worked on activated random walks, with Alexandre Gaudillière and Amine Asselah. After this, I was a postdoc student in the university "La Sapienza" in Rome, where I studied models of interacting random loops, spin models and sanpile models, with Lorenzo Taggi, Matteo Quattropani, Alexandra Quitmann and Concetta Campailla.
