Welcome to my website !

Hi there, I’m Richard, a mathematician interested in the analysis of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and their applications in physical and biological systems. So far, my main interests include:

• Kinetic theory of rarefied gases
• Problems set in bounded domains presenting heat thermostats and their qualitative effects on the equilibrium
• PDEs involving the kinetic Fokker-Planck, Boltzmann, Landau, and Vlasov-Poisson equations

I’m currently a Temporary Teaching and Research Fellow (ATER) at the Université Paris Dauphine – PSL, seeking a postdoctoral position to continue my research on the mathematical problems arising from statistical physics and collaborate on interdisciplinary projects.

I’m completing my Ph.D. in the month of December 2025 at the CEREMADE, Université Paris Dauphine - PSL, under the supervision of Professors Kleber Carrapatoso and Stéphane Mischler.

Professional address: Bureau F505, Université Paris Dauphine - PSL, Place du Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny - 75775 PARIS Cedex 16.
