Overview
A theoretical physicist by training, Pascal Grange is interested in quantitative models of systems with many degrees of freedom. His current field of research is the statistical physics of out-of-equilibrium systems (this class of systems includes living systems). His teaching interests at Duke Kunshan University include probability, differential equations and geometry.

Mean first-passage time at the origin of a run-and-tumble particle with periodic forces
Journal Article Journal of Physics A Mathematical and Theoretical · June 30, 2025 We consider a run-and-tumble particle on a half-line with an absorbing target at the origin. The particle has an internal velocity state that switches between two opposite values at Poisson-distributed times. The position of the particle evolves according ...

Journal Article Journal of Physics Communications · April 1, 2024 A non-conserving zero-range process with extensive creation, annihilation and hopping rates is subjected to local resetting. The model is formulated on a large, fully-connected network of states. The states are equipped with a (bounded) fitness level: part ... Full text CiteVoter model under stochastic resetting
Journal Article Journal of Physics A Mathematical and Theoretical · December 8, 2023 The voter model is a toy model of consensus formation based on nearest-neighbor interactions. A voter sits at each vertex in a hypercubic lattice (of dimension d) and is in one of two possible opinion states. The opinion state of each voter flips randomly, ...
