Clément Mouhot (French: [muo]; born 19 August 1978) is a French mathematician and academic. He is Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge, and a fellow of King's College, Cambridge. His research is primarily in partial differential equations and mathematical physics (statistical mechanics, Boltzmann equation, Vlasov equation).

Biography[]

Mouhot obtained his PhD in 2004[1] under the supervision of Cedric Villani at the École normale supérieure de Lyon.[2]

Since 2011, he is Associate editor of Acta Applicandae Mathematicae[3] and of the Journal of Statistical Physics.[4] Since 2012, he is Co-Editor-in-chief of the ESAIM Proceedings.[5] Since 2014 he is Associate editor of Communications in Mathematical Physics.[6]

His work "On Landau damping"[7] with Villani (published in 2011) was quoted in the Fields Medal laudation of Villani in 2010.[8] In 2013, his work “Kac’s program in kinetic theory”[9] with Mischler was the subject of a Séminaire Bourbaki.

In 2014 he was awarded the Whitehead Prize.[10] and the "Grand Prix Madame Victor Noury" of the French "Académie des sciences".[11] He has won the 2015/2016 Adams Prize[12] writing on the subject Applied Analysis.

In 2018, Mouhot helped organise a letter protesting Noah Carl's appointment to a fellowship at St Edmund's College, with Mouhot and other signatories describing Carl's work on genetics and race as pseudoscience.[13]
