Florestan Martin-Baillon

Since September 2025 I am a postdoc at the MPI-MiS in Leipzig, in Anna Wienhard's group.

Before that, I was PhD student in mathematics, supervised by Bertrand Deroin, then a postdoc at the IRMAR in Rennes, working with Serge Cantat and Christophe Dupont.

I'm interested in geometrical and dynamical aspects of groups. In particular, I study spaces of deformations of subgroups of linear groups, using techniques from complex dynamics.

I can be contacted at florestan.martinbaillon (at) gmail.com
