Yann Ollivier's Web Page

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

G. B. Shaw

About me

My name is Yann Ollivier (Yann is the given name and Ollivier is the family name; a crude English transcription would be Ian Ollivyeah). If this page is up-to-date, I'm 32. I am currently a mathematician (full-time researcher) at CNRS in the École normale supérieure de Lyon, France. This academic year I am visiting the computer science department at Orsay University.

À propos des enseignants-chercheurs (regarding changes of researchers' status initiated by the current ministry).

These pages are bilingual (English/French), but most documents are actually available in only one language, hence a single main page with mixed English and French links.

Any comment, either metaphysical or typographical, can be sent to yann.ollivier (domain) normalesup.org
