Hadrien Maffioli

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at the University Marie & Louis Pasteur, France under the supervision of Drs. François Bienvenu and Jean-Jil Duchamps.

My research field is probability theory. More specifically, I study random trees and networks, focusing primarily on the geometry of large-scale networks and their applications to evolutionary biology. My thesis is devoted to the development of new tools and random graph models for phylogenetic networks.

My academic resume is available here.
