Nicolas Tholozan

Nicolas Tholozan is a Research Fellow at the CNRS, affiliated with the Department of Mathematics and Applications at École Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris, France. His work primarily bridges geometric topology, differential geometry, and representation theory, focusing on Anosov representations, anti-de Sitter geometry, and geometric structures on manifolds. He has supervised multiple doctoral students and co-organized several research seminars and workshops.

• Education: PhD in Mathematics (2014) from Université Nice Sophia Antipolis, advised by Sorin Dumitrescu.
• Research Leadership: Scientific Secretary of CNRS Section 41 since 2021; co-organizer of seminars like 'Tell me about...' and working groups on affine varieties.

Research Trends span geometric structures on manifolds, including anti-de Sitter geometry, Anosov representations, and volume invariants. His publications often intersect dynamical systems, Lie group actions, and moduli spaces of geometric objects.
