Franck Barthe is a French mathematician.[1] He was awarded the European Congress of Mathematics (ECM) prize in 2004.[2] He is working as a professor of mathematics at Paul Sabatier University.

Work

Franck Barthe is known for his reverse form of the Brascamp-Lieb inequality.[3] With Keith M. Ball, Shiri Artstein, and Assaf Naor, he solved Shannon's problem of the monotonic entropy increase of sums of random variables.[4]

Awards

In 2004, he received the EMS Prize (prize presentation: isoperimetric inequalities, probability measures and convex geometry) for his leading role in the application of mass-theoretical transport techniques.[2]

In 2005, he received the Grand Prix Jacques Herbrand.
