François Labourie

François Labourie is a Professor at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis (Université Côte d'Azur) in the Department of Mathematics. He previously held positions as Professor at Paris-Sud University (1994–2014) and Assistant Professor at École Polytechnique (1991–2001), alongside a CNRS Research Fellowship at École Polytechnique (1986–1994). His research focuses on geometry of surfaces, Teichmüller theory, dynamics, and geometric structures.

Key achievements include the European Mathematical Prize (1992), Carrière Prize (1993), and an ERC Advanced Grant (2009). He has delivered an invited lecture at the 1998 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM). His work bridges dynamical systems, differential geometry, and representation theory, with notable contributions to Anosov flows and higher Teichmüller theory.

Labourie's recent projects include the ERC-funded Geometry and Analysis of Surface Groups (2023–2028) and the ANR-DynGeo project (2017–2021). He teaches advanced courses in differential geometry, hyperbolic geometry, and group theory at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
