Personal Webpage of Quentin FRANCOIS

PhD student in Probability theory under the supervision of Djalil Chafaï and Pierre Tarrago. I am interested in high dimensional phenomena arising from random matrix theory and exactly solvable models.

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