Marco Biroli

Research Scholar, University of Chicago.

I work on the statistical physics of extreme values and strongly correlated particle systems — stochastic resetting, random matrix theory, order statistics — and, increasingly, on where those tools meet machine learning. Previously a PhD student at LPTMS, Université Paris-Saclay, under Satya Majumdar.

Selected publications

Extreme statistics and spacing distribution in a Brownian gas correlated by resetting
Marco Biroli, Hernán Larralde, Satya N. Majumdar, Grégory Schehr
Physical Review Letters 130, 207101 · 2023 · 61 citations

N Brownian particles on a line, each simultaneously reset to the origin at rate r. The shared resetting event alone correlates otherwise-independent particles; we derive the resulting order-statistics and spacing distributions in closed form.

First-passage resetting gas
Marco Biroli, Satya N. Majumdar, Grégory Schehr
Europhysics Letters 153, 31002 · 2026 · 2 citations

A gas of Brownian particles whose collective reset is triggered by a first-passage event — the first one to reach a threshold drags the others back. Correlations, stationary density, and extreme-value statistics in this first-passage-coupled setting.

Dynamically emergent correlations in Brownian particles subject to simultaneous non-Poissonian resetting protocols
Gabriele de Mauro, Marco Biroli, Satya N. Majumdar, Grégory Schehr
Physical Review E 113, 014120 · 2026 · 7 citations

Generalizes the correlated Brownian gas to non-Poissonian resetting protocols — deterministic, power-law, heavy-tailed. The shape of the inter-reset distribution reshapes the correlation structure.

Experimental evidence for strong emergent correlations between particles in a switching trap
Marco Biroli, Sergio Ciliberto, Manas Kulkarni, Satya N. Majumdar, Artyom Petrosyan, Grégory Schehr
arXiv preprint · 2025 · 5 citations

An optical-tweezers experiment that directly measures the emergent correlations predicted for particles in a stochastically switching trap — the first experimental realization of the mechanism.

Resetting Dyson Brownian motion
Marco Biroli, Satya N. Majumdar, Grégory Schehr
Physical Review E 112, 014101 · 2025 · 13 citations

Dyson Brownian motion of N eigenvalues, reset simultaneously. Stationary density, extreme-eigenvalue statistics, and the crossover between resetting-dominated and repulsion-dominated regimes.
