Adrien Brochier
I’m maître de conférences at Université Paris-cité and a member of the team “Groups, representations and geometry” of the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu-Paris Rive Gauche.
My research interests are mainly in quantum algebra and mathematical physics, and their relation with low dimensional topology. I grew up working on quantum groups and analogs of Drinfeld associators, the so-called KZ equation and the associated representations of braid groups and links invariants. Now I’m trying to use a certain “higher algebraic” point of view on topological field theories and deformation-quantization in a somewhat concrete way to prove stuffs in representation theory and low-dimensional topology.
- I’m a co-organizer of the Journées de topologie quantique
- I am a (substitute) elected member of the scientific council of the math faculty, and a member of the Comité Parité
- I’m a member of the ANR project SHoCoS led by my colleague Najib Idrissi
- I am part of the organization of the Paris instance of “Les Maths C pour L”, a “math camp” for female undegrads.
- I contributed a couple of short texts (and one picture) to the 2023 maths calendar published by the Presses Universitaires de Grenoble.
