Deterministic and Stochastic Approaches to Relaxation to Equilibrium for Particle Systems
This work is about convergence to equilibrium problems for equations coming from kinetic theory. The bulk of the work is about Hypocoercivity. Hypocoercivity is the phenomenon when a semigroup shows exponentially relaxation towards equilibrium without the corresponding coercivity (dissipativity) …

Essays in experimental macroeconomics
… of four essays that use controlled experiments to address macroeconomic issues. Chapter 1 (coauthored with Camille Cornand and Adam Zylbersztejn) investigates the robustness of experience effects in laboratory experiments. We compare two scenarios in a beauty-contest game characterized by …

Keller-Segel-Type Models and Kinetic Equations for Interacting Particles: Long-Time Asymptotic Analysis
… first and second parts focus on long-time asymptotics of macroscopic and kinetic models respectively, while in the third part we connect these regimes using different scaling approaches. (1) Keller–Segel-type aggregation-diffusion equations: We study a Keller–Segel-type model with non-linear …

Is manufacturing the silver bullet engine of growth for South Africa?
… marked by economies that fail to realise their full potential resource utilisation, employment and growth. The Kaldorian framework established the manufacturing sector as serving a critical role in inducing sustainable growth of the economy. This framework articulated the …

Theoretical Foundations for Learning in Games and Dynamic Environments
… our society, ranging from healthcare systems to financial systems to interactions with the physical world. A central challenge that arises across many decision-making problems is the presence of multiple agents, often with competing incentives. To understand how agents will act in such …
