Jean-François Le Gall (born 15 November 1959) is a French mathematician working in areas of probability theory such as Brownian motion, Lévy processes, superprocesses and their connections with partial differential equations, the Brownian snake, random trees, branching processes, stochastic coalescence and random planar maps. He received his Ph.D. in 1982 under the supervision of Marc Yor.[1] He is currently professor at the University of Paris-Sud in Orsay and is a senior member of the Institut universitaire de France. He was elected to French academy of sciences, December 2013.
He was awarded the Rollo Davidson Prize in 1986,[2] the Loève Prize in 1997,[2] and the Fermat Prize in 2005.[3] He was the thesis advisor of at least 11 students including Wendelin Werner.[1]
