I am Maître de Conférences (~ associate professor) at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, at the SAMM lab since September ’25. Before that, I was a postdoctoral fellow at École des ponts et chaussées. Even before that, I completed my PhD at Université Paris-Dauphine under the supervision of Mathieu Lewin.

News

• Luca Nenna has been awarded a PIQ (Programme Inria Quadrant) for our project PiQuantO (Problems in Quantum Optimal Transport). We will explore quantum optimal transport(s) in the context of density functional theory.

Research interests

• Theory and numerics of optimal transport, notably its multimarginal extension as it appears in density functional theory in quantum chemistry;
• Study of classical (and continuous) statistical physics systems such as Coulomb and Riesz gases, with a particular focus on the existence of the thermodynamic limit and phase transitions;
• Model order reduction techniques for high-dimensional stochastic differential equations and Wasserstein gradient flows on manifolds.

Publications

Teaching

• Slides for the numerical part of the M2 course Optimal transport taught by Bruno Nazaret (for the purely theoretical part) and myself (for the numerical part) at Paris 1.
