Encyclopedia
Jean-Michel Coron is a French
mathematician, born in 1956. He first studied at Ecole Polytechnique
where he worked on his PhD thesis advised by Haïm Brezis
. Since 1992, his domain of research is the Control Theory of Partial Differential Equations, a domain in which he became a leader, and which includes both control and stabilization (see his book or his Scholarpedia article ). His most important results concern partial differential equation
s related to fluid dynamics
, with special emphasis on nonlinear phenomena, and part of them found applications to control channels.
He had previously worked in the field of non-linear functional analysis, where he also obtained significant results. Jean-Michel Coron was awarded numerous prizes, like the Fermat prize
in 1993, the Jaffé prize in 1995 by the Académie des Sciences
, and the Dargelos prize in 2002.
He was invited at the 1990 International Congress of Mathematicians
(Kyoto) in the section Partial Differential Equations, and he was also invited as a plenary speaker at the 2010 International Congress of Mathematicians, Hyderabad, India. He is now a Professor at the University Pierre et Marie Curie
in Paris, and a Senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France. Jean-Michel Coron is the husband of Claire Voisin
who is also plenary speaker at the 2010 International Congress of Mathematicians.
