معرفی
Gatien Verley is a Professor at Université Paris-Saclay, working in the Groupe de physique théorique within the Irène Joliot Curie Laboratory (IJClab). He completed his PhD at ESPCI Paris from 2009-2012 under David Lacoste, while also teaching at Pierre and Marie-Curie University (now Sorbonne University). After a two-year postdoc with Massimiliano Esposito at the University of Luxembourg, he joined Université Paris-Saclay in September 2014 as a teaching assistant. In July 2024, he successfully defended his professorial thesis (HDR) at Université Paris-Saclay.
His research focuses on nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, particularly in the areas of stochastic thermodynamics, large deviation theory, and energy conversion processes. His work bridges theoretical physics with practical applications in thermoelectric conversion and molecular machines. He has developed novel frameworks for understanding thermodynamic circuits, dynamical equivalence classes, and efficiency fluctuations in small-scale energy converters.
Verley's publication record shows a consistent focus on fundamental aspects of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, with recent work (2024-2025) expanding into thermodynamic circuit theory for both thermoelectric converters and chemical reaction networks. His research demonstrates a progression from foundational work on fluctuation relations and large deviation theory to more applied frameworks for energy conversion systems.
He has co-organized several important workshops, including "Theoretical methods for studying nonequilibrium fluctuations" (2017) and the EcoClim series on climate change for physicists (2018, 2021).
Verley maintains an active research group focused on statistical physics and nonequilibrium phenomena, with collaborations spanning multiple institutions in France and internationally.
