Philippe Blanchard

Blanchard is also the editor of Progress in Mathematical Physics, Mathematical Physics, Analysis and Geometry, and Fundamental Theories of Physics.

Among his 240 scientific publications are books such as Mathematical and Physical Aspects of Stochastic Mechanics (with P. Combe & W. Zheng, 1987), Mathematical Methods in Physics: Distributions, Hilbert Space Operators and Variational Methods (with E. Brüning, 2002), and Mathematical Analysis of Urban Spatial Networks (with D. Volchenkov, 2008).

Blanchard's fields of interest comprise the application of functional analysis and probability theory (stochastic analysis, random graphs), quantum and statistical physics (percolation theory, self-organized criticality), epidemiology (disease spreading), and sociology (learning as a social process, social contagion).
