Profile of Vincent Bansaye, Professor at École Polytechnique in “Population Evolution and Interaction Particle Systems” team led by Sylvie Méléard
His background
Vincent Bansaye is a former student of ENS Paris-Saclay and obtained his doctorate in mathematics from Sorbonne University, then his habilitation to supervise research at Université Paris-Saclay.
He joined École Polytechnique in 2009, where he is a Professor.
He is currently Vice-President of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Deputy Director of the Jacques Hadamard Mathematical Foundation.
A specialist in random models for biology and ecology, his work mainly concerns stochastic processes for structured populations and the effect of the environment.
His collaborations
With Céline Bonnet and Sylvie Méléard, Vincent Bansaye works on the mathematical modeling of hematopoiesis and leukemia.
He collaborates with physicians and biologists, in particular Stéphane Giraudier, Raphael Itzykson, Evelyne Lauret and Carine Legrand.
His research focus areas
-
How can one reduce the complexity of a living system evolving in time and limit the number of parameters or variables?
-
Which equilibria or quasi-equilibria emerge in structured populations? For example, how can intracellular growth and cell division compensate each other and be regulated?
-
How can one characterize the genealogical structure of growing populations?
