News
- Nicolas Noirault joined our group from 25 May 2021 through 20 July 2021, during his first-year master internship at the University of Paris. With his bachelor's degree in Mathematics and in Physics from the University of Cergy, he was brillantly qualified to work on a famous paper by mathematician K. Böröczky on locally stable disk packings, that we connected to modern developments in Markov chains. In collaboration with P. Höllmer, B. Li, and A. C. Maggs, we submitted our paper "Sparse hard-disk packings and local Markov chains" to arXiv in September 2021, only four months (!) after the beginning of the 'stage de M1'. The manuscript was published in 2022. Congratulations!
- Louis Carillo joined our group from 25 May 2021 through 2 July 2021, during his third-year bachelor internship at ENS Paris-Saclay. He contributed to a manuscript Hard-disk simulations: A historic perspective that was finished in July 2022. Congratulations!
- Philipp Höllmer, PhD student at University of Bonn (Germany) with whom we have collaborated closely since June 2018, has been accepted into the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes, the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (May 2021) Congratulations!

- Philipp Höllmer, with whom we have enjoyed close collaboration since June 2018, has successfully defended his master thesis: All-Atom Event-Chain Monte Carlo—Designing a General-Purpose Python Application at the Physics Department of the University of Bonn (Germany). Congratulations.
- Professor Synge Todo (University of Tokyo) is visiting us from 12 September 2019 through 25 September 2019. Prof. Todo is a world leader in statistical and computational physics, in parallel computing, and ... in irreversible Markov-chain methods...
- Botao Li has successfully applied for a PhD project at the EDPIF doctoral school. He will stay with our group for the coming three-year period (September 2019 - Summer of 2022).
- Botao Li, master student in high-energy physics at Ecole polytechnique, has joined our group on 4 March 2019 until 2 August 2019. to work on the subject: "Beyond-Metropolis Markov chains: From the foundations to application". Here is his master thesis.
- Philipp Höllmer visited us (on invitation of the ENS Physics department and the Institut Philippe Meyer), for a pre-submission sprint (24 February - 1 March 2019).
- Ze Lei has successfully defended his thesis on 19 December 2018. Congratulations!
- Juliane Klamser has successfully defended her thesis on 10 December 2018. Congratulations!
- Philipp Höllmer, physics master in science student at the University of Bonn (Germany) has joined our group on June 18, 2018, until mid-September 2018, to work on our Coulomb project. Philipp holds a special scholarship of the Bonn-Cologne Graduate School of Physics and Astronomy Honors Branch, which rendered this visit possible. At the moment, we heavily rely on his physical insights, and his expert skills in cutting-edge computational problems.
- Michael F. Faulkner mail, EPSRC research fellow at the H. H. Wills Physics Laboratory, University of Bristol, UK, is again visiting us for two weeks (16 July 2018 - 27 July 2018), to continue our exciting work on Coulomb systems.

- From January to June 2018, I am staying at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, Germany, where I was appointed as a Gutzwiller fellow. Several of my collaborators (Juliane KLAMSER, Ze LEI, Sebastian KAPFER, Michael FAULKNER, and Liang QIN), were also invited for one-month stays! This has been a great opportunity to continue work in a different environment.
- Michael F. FAULKNER mail, EPSRC research fellow at the H. H. Wills Physics Laboratory, University of Bristol, UK, is staying with us continuously from 1 September 2017 until at least the end of the year 2017. Michael is invited guest in our group at the Laboratoire de physique statistique for the next three years, and will be in and out of Paris and Bristol on common projects with us and with Anthony C. MAGGS, from ESPCI, Paris. We are very excited about Michael's coming and the possibilities to follow common research interests! Michael is located in office LE110.
- Tommaso COMPARIN defended his thesis, entitled "From few-body atomic physics to many-body statistical physics: The unitary Bose gas and the three-body hard-core model" on 6 December 2016. The jury was composed of Hans-Werner HAMMER (TU Darmstadt, Germany), Tommaso ROSCILDE (ENS Lyon), Christophe SALOMON (ENS Paris), Patrizia VIGNOLO (Université de Nice-Sophia Antipolis) and myself.
