Welcome to my homepage! My name is Li Gan. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at Galileo Galilei Institute, INFN, Florence, Italy. I obtained my PhD in physics from Université Paris-Saclay under the supervision of Professor Stéphane Ouvry at LPTMS. My PhD thesis focuses on the enumeration of closed lattice random walks according to their algebraic area (a.k.a. signed area), with connections to quantum exclusion statistics, as well as the combinatorics of generalized Dyck and Motzkin paths.

News: In November and December 2023, I had the pleasure of delivering seminar talks at LIPN, Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, and LMPA, Université Littoral Côte d’Opale. Here are my slides.
