Sylvie Roelly (born 1960) is a French mathematician specializing in probability theory, including the study of particle systems, Gibbs measure, diffusion, and branching processes.
[2] She completed her Ph.D. in 1984 through Pierre and Marie Curie University, with the dissertation Processus de diffusion à valeurs mesures multiplicatifs supervised by Nicole El Karoui.
She came to Germany as a Humboldt Fellow at Bielefeld University from 1990 to 1994, and was a researcher at the Weierstrass Institute in Berlin from 2001 to 2003, before taking her professorship at Potsdam in 2003.
[1] Along with her research interest in probability, she has organized in Potsdam several events concerning the history of Jewish mathematicians.
[4][5] In 2007, Roelly and Michèle Thieullen won the Itô Prize of the Bernoulli Society for their work on Brownian diffusion.
