Lucas Gerin

Lucas Gerin is a mathematician at École polytechnique working in combinatorial probability and its applications to statistical mechanics. His research describes the limit behavior of random combinatorial objects such as permutations, graphs and paths, with a focus on new limiting objects and universality phenomena, including the Brownian separable permuton (Annals of Probability, 2018) and exactly solvable models in last-passage percolation. His Alliance visit to Columbia's Mathematics Department was hosted by Professor Ivan Corwin.
