Jean Bertoin

Bertoin received in 1987 his doctorate from University of Paris VI under Marc Yor with Étude des processus de Dirichlet.[1] Bertoin taught and did research there and is now a professor at the University of Zurich.

In 1996 he received the Rollo Davidson Prize. In 2002 he was an Invited Speaker with talk Some aspects of additive coalescents at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing. In 2012 he was an Invited Speaker with talk Coagulation with limited aggregations at the European Congress of Mathematicians in Kraków. He is a corresponding member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences.[2]

His research deals with Lévy processes, Brownian motion, branching processes, random fragmentation, and coalescence processes.

His doctoral students include Grégory Miermont.
