Former permanent members

Amaury Lambert (PR ÉNS). AL is now professor at the biology department of École Normale Supérieure. He is a specialist of random trees and of stochastic modeling and statistical inference in population genetics and phylogenetics. He leads the SMILE group, one of the 20 research groups of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Biology (CIRB, Collège de France). Former head of the group 2011-2017.

Emmanuel Schertzer (MC Sorbonne Université). ES is currently on leave at the University of Vienna. He is a probabilist with expertise in stochastic modeling for population genetics and theoretical ecology. ES is interested in applying results from probability theory (such as branching processes) to understand exchangeable population models, and also to investigate how spatial structure and recombination have shaped the genetic diversity and the ecological composition of extant populations.

Catherine Larédo (DR INRAE), HDR. CL was a senior research scientist at INRAE.

Julien Berestycki (MC Sorbonne Université), HDR. JB is currently on leave at Oxford University.
