Rotem Assouline
Mathematician
I am currently an FSMP postdoctoral fellow at the Equipe Analyse Fonctionnelle, Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu - Paris Rive Gauche.
Before that, I was a graduate student at the Weizmann Institute of Science under the supervision of prof. Bo'az Klartag.
My research interests lie at the intersection of differential geometry, optimal transport theory and convex geometry. Currently, I am working on displacement convexity in optimal transport with general Lagrangian costs.
