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.

First passage of a run-and-tumble particle with exponentially-distributed tumble duration in the presence of a drift
Journal article Journal of Physics A Mathematical and Theoretical · June 26, 2026 We consider a run-and-tumble particle on a finite interval (Formula presented) (Formula presented) with two absorbing end points. The particle has an internal velocity state that switches between three values (Formula presented) (Formula presented) at expo ...

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 CiteEducation
