Ludovic Rifford



The purpose of the CNRS-AIMS Chair in Mathematics is to contribute to the intensification of scientific collaborations between mathematicians from France and Africa and to participate in the establishment of a visible and competitive research community between CNRS and AIMS. In addition to the three months I spend each year in Africa (usually at AIMS-Senegal), the Chair is used to finance various activities listed below. Feel free to contact me for further information.
