Andrea Braides
Andrea Braides (born April 12, 1961 in Udine ) is an Italian mathematician who deals with the calculus of variations. He is a professor at the Tor Vergata University in Rome .
Braides studied at the University of Pisa with the Laurea degree in 1983 (Gamma-Limits of Functionals in the Calculus of Variations) with Ennio de Giorgi and then at the Scuola Normale Superiore (Course to Perfection ), taught at the University of Udine and researched after two Years of civil service from 1988 at the University of Brescia, where he became assistant professor in 1992. From 1995 to 2000 he was assistant professor at SISSA in Trieste and from 2000 professor at the University of Rome.
Among other things, he was visiting scholar at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (1994, 2004), at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Natural Sciences in Leipzig (1998), at Caltech , the Center Emile Borel in Paris, the Isaac Newton Institute , the Universities of Paris VI and XIII, Carnegie-Mellon University , Stanford University and the Aviation Engineering Department of the University of Minnesota .
He deals with the calculus of variations, gamma convergence , homogenization, discrete variation problems, percolation, fracture mechanics, image processing, problems with free discontinuities and geometric dimension theory.
In 2014 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul (Discrete-to-continuum variational methods for lattice systems).
