Alberto Bressan
Alberto Bressan (born June 15, 1956 in Venice ) is an Italian mathematician who deals with analysis .
Bressan studied at the University of Padua , where he obtained his diploma (Laurea) with Roberto Conti (processes of linear control) in 1978 , received a research fellowship from the University of Florence in 1979/80 and received his doctorate in 1982 from the University of Colorado in Boulder with Jerrold Bebernes ( Two mathematical problems relating to the theory of combustion ). He then worked at the University of Colorado (Associate Professor since 1986) and at SISSA in Trieste , where he has been a professor since 1991. He has been the Eberly Professor of Mathematics at Pennsylvania State University since 2003 . Among other things, he was visiting scholar at MIT , in Hong Kong , Trondheim , Oslo (Center for Advanced Study) and Stockholm at the Mittag-Leffler Institute.
Bressan deals with control theory, differential games, partial differential equations, especially conservation laws for hyperbolic partial differential equations.
In 2002 he gave a plenary lecture at the ICM in Beijing ( Hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension ). In 2008 he received the Bôcher Memorial Prize for his work on hyperbolic conservation laws and solutions of vanishing viscosity of hyperbolic differential equation systems, partly carried out with his student Stefano Bianchini . In 2006 he received the Antonio Feltrinelli Prize for Mathematics and Mechanics from the Accademia dei Lincei . He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
He is married and has two children.
