Dominique Bakry
Dominique Bakry (born December 12, 1954 in Algiers ) is a French mathematician who deals with stochastics.
Bakry studied at the École normal supérieure de Saint-Cloud and received his doctorate in 1985 from the University of Strasbourg under Marc Yor (and Paul-André Meyer ) (Hypercontractivite et integrales singulieres pour les semigroupes de diffusion symetriques) . He was Chargé de Recherche of the CNRS in Strasbourg before he became professor at the Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse in 1988 .
For 2018 Bakry was awarded the Prix Servant of the Académie des Sciences .
He dealt with Markov chains and Markov processes, Markov semigroups and the application of methods of Riemannian geometry in stochastics (for example in the study of diffusion on manifolds).
He is a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France.
