Xavier Allamigeon

Xavier Allamigeon is a researcher in the Tropical team jointly affiliated with INRIA and CMAP at Ecole Polytechnique, where he also serves as a part-time associate professor in the Applied Mathematics Department teaching optimization and operations research.

His research focuses on computational aspects of optimization, combinatorics, tropical geometry, game theory, and formalization of mathematics in proof assistants, bridging theoretical mathematics with practical computational applications.

Scientific Recognition

• Prix Inria - Académie des sciences jeunes chercheurs et jeunes chercheuses (2022)
• SIAM SIGEST award (2021)
• Best paper award at EMSOFT (2015)
• Gilles Kahn award (2010)

Mentorship & Research Leadership

He has supervised eight PhD students including Nicolas Vandame (2021-present), Quentin Canu (2020-present), and Marin Boyet (2018-2022), typically in co-supervision with senior researchers like S. Gaubert. Currently leading the URGE project (2023-2026) funded by Bernoulli Lab, his research portfolio includes seven major funded projects since 2010 such as 'Optimisation de la performance de centres de traitement d'appels d'urgence' (2019-2021) which he led, and 'Tropical methods in optimization' (2011-2016).

Research Environment

As a core member of the Tropical team at INRIA and CMAP, Allamigeon contributes to advancing tropical geometry applications in optimization, working within Ecole Polytechnique's mathematical research ecosystem while maintaining strong connections with French national research agencies including ANR and FMJH.
