Personal Webpage of Quentin FRANCOIS

Postdoctoral researcher in Probability theory under the supervision of Raphaël Butez and Rémi Bardenet. I am interested in high dimensional phenomena arising from random matrix theory and exactly solvable models.

I completed my PhD at Paris-Dauphine PSL under the supervision of Djalil Chafaï and Pierre Tarrago. You can find the manuscript here.

Research Interests: Random Matrices, Free Probability, Integrable Probability and Algebraic Combinatorics.
