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.
