Act

Adrian Constantin attended a German-language school in Romania. After graduating from high school, he studied mathematics at the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis and graduated in 1992. Constantin received his doctorate under the supervision of Henry P. McKean and Peter Lax in 1996 at the Courant Institute of New York University . After a research stay at the University of Basel , he completed his habilitation in 1999 at the University of Zurich .

After a short period as a lecturer at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in England, he became a professor at Lund University in 2000 . From 2004 to 2008 he held the Erasmus Smith's Chair in Mathematics (1762) at Trinity College , Dublin. In 2007 he received the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Prize, endowed with 45,000 euros . Constantin works on nonlinear partial differential equations and researches the mathematical modeling of water waves . Since September 2008 Constantin has been professor for partial differential equations at the University of Vienna. Since 2008 he has also been a professor at King's College London .

Since 2016, Constantin and his team at the University of Vienna have been involved in an interdisciplinary research project on the interactions of surface waves , internal waves and currents at the equator, funded by the Vienna Science, Research and Technology Fund . The investigations bridge mathematical, physical and engineering aspects. The field data collected and made available by the partners at Stanford University will be examined in Vienna .
