Clément Mouhot (French: [muo]; born 19 August 1978) is a French mathematician and academic. He is Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge. His research is primarily in partial differential equations and mathematical physics ( statistical mechanics, Boltzmann equation, Vlasov equation).
Mouhot obtained his PhD in 2004 [1] under the supervision of Cedric Villani at the École normale supérieure de Lyon. [2]
Since 2011, he is Associate editor of Acta Applicandae Mathematicae [3] and of the Journal of Statistical Physics. [4] Since 2012, he is Co-Editor-in-chief of the ESAIM Proceedings. [5] Since 2014 he is Associate editor of Communications in Mathematical Physics. [6]
His work "On Landau damping" [7] with Villani (published in 2011) was quoted in the Fields Medal laudation of Villani in 2010. [8] In 2013, his work "Kac's program in kinetic theory" [9] with Mischler was the subject of a Séminaire Bourbaki. Mouhot was an invited speaker at International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro in 2018, [10] and at the conference Dynamics, Equations and Applications in Kraków in 2019. [11]
In 2014 he was awarded the Whitehead Prize. [12] and the "Grand Prix Madame Victor Noury" of the French "Académie des sciences". [13] He has won the 2015/2016 Adams Prize [14] writing on the subject Applied Analysis.
In 2018, Mouhot helped organise a letter protesting Noah Carl's appointment to a fellowship at St Edmund's College, with Mouhot and other signatories describing Carl's work on genetics and race as pseudoscience. [15]
