Maths as a Second Language

Laurent Cantier

Post-Doctoral Fellow at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona

Faculty Profile

Laurent graduated from Grande Ecole Centrale de Nantes in France, and then obtained his PhD in Mathematics at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) in 2020.

After a first post-doctoral position at the UAB, he was awarded a three-year Margarita Salas grant in January 2022. He is currently co-hosted as a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IMCAS) and the UAB.
