Joël Merker

Joël Merker is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Université Paris-Saclay, affiliated with the Faculty of Sciences. His research spans complex geometry, algebraic hyperbolicity, and CR structures.

• Key Research Areas: Complex analysis, differential algebra, geometric invariants, and philosophical foundations of mathematics.
• Notable Collaborations: Contributions to the Green-Griffiths and Kobayashi hyperbolicity conjectures.
• Teaching: Developed extensive materials in linear algebra, integration theory, and Fourier analysis.
• Students: Advised Samuel Pocchiola, focusing on Cartan equivalences for CR manifolds.
• Conferences: Active in international workshops on complex geometry and dynamical systems (2006-2014).

His work integrates geometric proofs with computational methods, emphasizing synthetic reasoning and algorithmic constructions.
