Pierre L. L. Morain
Welcome to my webpage, please come in and warm yourself by the fire.
Current position
I am currently an ATER (temporary position involving research and teaching) at Sorbonne Université, IMJ-PRG.
I have recently defended my PhD thesis at Sorbonne Université under the supervision of Pierre Charollois (IMJ-PRG) and Antonin Guilloux (IMJ-PRG, INRIA). The subject of my thesis is:
Higher elliptic Gamma functions, cohomology of linear groups and higher elliptic units.
The defense took place in June 22nd 2026. Here is a a link to the latest version of my thesis (updated on 29/06/2026).
I am currently on the job market for the academic year 2027-2028.
