Laure Saint-Raymond

Laure Saint-Raymond is a renowned mathematician and Professor at the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (ENS Lyon), affiliated with the Unité de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées (UMPA). She holds academic positions spanning CNRS, University of Paris VI, and ENS Paris. Her work focuses on kinetic theory, fluid mechanics, and singularities in mechanics. She has been honored with prestigious awards, including the Fermat Prize (2015) and membership in the French Academy of Sciences (2013).

• Education: DEA in Numerical Analysis (Paris VI), DEA in Plasma Physics (Versailles-Saint-Quentin).
• Elected to the French Academy of Sciences at the youngest age in its history (2013).

Her research explores the transition from microscopic particle dynamics to macroscopic fluid equations, with contributions to the rigorous derivation of hydrodynamic limits. She co-organized the thematic trimester on 'Singularities in Mechanics' at the Institut Henri Poincaré (2008).

• Awards: Over a dozen major prizes, including the Legion of Honour (2019) and the Satter Prize (2009).
• Leadership: Led the analysis team at ENS Paris and served as deputy director of her department.

She has been a junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France since 2015 and has held visiting positions at Harvard and MIT (2014). Her work bridges pure mathematics and applied physics, with implications for understanding complex fluid systems.
