معرفی
Cecile Mailler is a Professor in Probability at the University of Bath, affiliated with the Probability Group (Prob-L@B). She holds a PhD from the Laboratoire de Mathématiques de Versailles (2013), supervised by Brigitte Chauvin and Danièle Gardy. Previously, she was an EPSRC Postdoctoral Fellow (2018-2021) and a postdoc at Prob-L@B (2013-2016). Her research focuses on branching processes, random trees, reinforcement models, Pólya urns, random networks, and statistical physics. She serves as an Associate Editor for the Applied Probability Trust and Stochastic Processes and Their Applications.
Research interests include:
- Branching processes and random trees
- Reinforcement mechanisms and stochastic approximation
- Random networks and preferential attachment
- Statistical physics models (zero-range processes, condensation)
- Satisfiability and analytic combinatorics
Recent work emphasizes phase transitions in random trees, reinforcement learning algorithms, and applications to network dynamics. She has organized conferences on random walks and stochastic processes, including a 2026 event at CIRM. Her teaching includes mini-courses on Pólya urns and probabilistic combinatorics at international summer schools.
Grants and fellowships include the EPSRC Postdoctoral Fellowship (2018-2021) and contributions to projects on stochastic networks and condensation phenomena. She advises PhD students in areas like multi-city ants processes and Pólya urn dynamics. Her work is supported by collaborations with institutions worldwide, including ETH Zurich, LMU Munich, and the Banff International Research Station.
