Biography

Laurent Pujo-Menjouet is a Professor of Mathematics at Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 (France). Trained in applied mathematics, he conducted postdoctoral research at McGill University (Canada) and was an Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University (USA) before returning to France. His work uses dynamical systems to explore complex biological and medical phenomena, from epidemics and neurodegenerative diseases to radiobiology, bone formation, and blood disorders. More recently, he has turned his mathematical lens toward human behavior, including the dynamics of romantic relationships.
