Josselin Garnier worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Josselin Garnier as French mathematician.
Josselin Garnier was born at Orléans in 1971. His recorded nationality is France. He studied at École Normale Supérieure and École polytechnique.
Modern mathematics is collaborative and increasingly computational; proofs can now run to thousands of pages or depend on machine verification.
His academic posts were held at University of Paris and École polytechnique.
The recorded fields of work are mathematics, mathematical method and stochastic process.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
The honours record reads: Felix Klein Prize (2008).
That the work was done from France matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Josselin Garnier is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
