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 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 completed my Ph.D. in December of 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.
