Bertrand JOUVE

Bertrand JOUVE is a CNRS Research Director affiliated with the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Solidarity, Societies, Territories (LISST) at the University of Toulouse. With a career spanning over two decades in academic research, he has held positions as Professor of Mathematics at University Lyon 2 (2011-2013) and Lecturer at University Toulouse 2 (1999-2011). His academic leadership includes serving as Deputy Scientific Director at InSHS CNRS (2011-2016) and President of the GIS National Network of Human Sciences Houses (2016-2018).

Professor Jouve's research expertise centers on graph theory and network analysis, with significant contributions to mathematical models for network analysis, complex networks, and social networks. His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between pure mathematics and practical applications in urban mobility systems, pandemic modeling, and digital media impacts. Recent publications highlight his focus on bicycle mobility during the pandemic, theoretical advances in matrix operations, and the societal implications of digital technologies.

His research output shows consistent productivity with publications spanning mathematics, computer science, transportation science, and social sciences. The interdisciplinary nature of his work is evident in co-authorship patterns spanning institutions in France, Australia, and Israel. His 2024 publications in Linear Algebra and its Applications and Transportation journals demonstrate continued theoretical and applied contributions.

As a CNRS Research Director, Professor Jouve supervises research projects and likely mentors junior researchers, though specific student information isn't detailed in available sources. His leadership roles in national research infrastructure suggest significant administrative responsibilities alongside his research activities.

Professor Jouve's laboratory affiliation with LISST provides a rich interdisciplinary environment for studying societal structures through mathematical lenses. The laboratory's focus on solidarity, societies, and territories aligns with his research interests in social networks and urban systems, creating opportunities for collaborative research across disciplinary boundaries.
