Pierre Clavier

Dr. Pierre Clavier is an assistant professor at Université de Haute Alsace in Mulhouse, France, affiliated with the Institute of Mathematics under the Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät. He specializes in mathematical physics, focusing on algebra and quantum field theory, and is currently collaborating with Prof. Dr. Sylvie Paycha at the University of Potsdam on the "species theory" project.

Research Focus:

• Species Theory: Unifying combinatorial results across disparate domains through structural set theory.
• Applications in mathematical physics, particularly in theoretical aspects of quantum field theory.

Collaboration Benefits:
His October–November 2023 visit to Potsdam enabled in-person discussions, accelerating progress on unresolved questions and clarifying future research directions. The collaboration includes plans for joint publications and follow-up meetings until December 2023.

Additional Interests:
Advocates for addressing gender disparities in mathematics and physics through outreach to female high school students, combating historical biases like the "Mathilda effect," and promoting inclusive conference formats such as "Women in [...]" events.
