Bio
Arnaud Lazarus received a PhD degree in mechanical engineering from Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France, in 2008. After two post-doctoral years in Paris, he joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an associate researcher from 2010 to 2013. In 2013, he became an associate professor at Sorbonne Université, Paris, France, doing his research at Institut Jean le Rond ∂’Alembert. In 2024, after a one-year sabbatical in Katia Bertoldi’s group within the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard he joined the department of Mathematics at MIT as an invited associate professor. His current interests include the stability of dynamical systems with a particular interest in Floquet theory, the mechanics of slender elastic structures and hydrodynamics quantum analogs.
