Philippe Briand

Born in Nîmes in 1970, Philippe Briand earned his PhD in 1997 at Université Blaise Pascal (Clermont-Ferrand), focusing on probabilistic methods for partial differential equations. After a postdoc at Princeton University, he became an associate professor at Rennes 1 in 1998, then full professor at Université Savoie Mont Blanc in 2008, joining LAMA, the Mathematics Laboratory (UMR 5127 CNRS–USMB). A probabilist and specialist in stochastic analysis, his research focuses on backward stochastic differential equations, their connections to finance and PDEs, and numerical methods. He co-led the MEEF master’s program, directed LAMA (2014–2018), contributed to Hcéres evaluations (2016–2018), and has been Deputy Scientific Director at CNRS-INSMI since 2018.
