Najib Idrissi
Maître de conférences (HDR) in mathematics
Maître de conférences (HDR) at Université Paris Cité — similar to associate professor; HDR is the French habilitation to supervise doctoral research.
Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu–Paris Rive Gauche (IMJ-PRG), deputy manager of the team-project Algebraic Geometry & Topology (TGA)
Scientific coordinator of the ANR Young Researcher grant Structure and Homotopy of Configuration Spaces (SHoCoS)
Junior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) for 2025–2030
My main mathematical interests are in the fields of operads, as well as in their applications to algebraic topology and homological algebra. I am especially interested in the study of configuration spaces of manifolds, their links to graph complexes, and the invariants they define. These days, I am also interested in the representation stability phenomenon.
