Gianni Dal Maso
Gianni Dal Maso (* 1954 in Vicenza ) is an Italian mathematician who studies the calculus of variations .
Dal Maso studied mathematics at the University of Pisa and the Scuola Normale Superiore with the Laurea degree in 1977 with Ennio de Giorgi (Gamma-limits of set functions). In 1982 he became an assistant professor at the University of Udine and from 1985 he was at the SISSA (Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati) in Trieste with a full professorship since 1987. He has been deputy director there since 2010.
In the calculus of variations he deals with gamma convergence , semicontinuity and relaxation problems , discontinuity problems and applications in mechanics (e.g. fracture mechanics), elasticity theory and image reconstruction.
In 1996 he received the Mathematics Prize of the Accademia dei XL , in 2003 the Prize for Mathematics and Mechanics of the Minister of Education from the Accademia dei Lincei, in 2005 the Luigi Amerio Prize of the Istituto Lombardo and in 1991 the Premio Caccioppoli . He is a corresponding member of the Istitutio Veneto. He was invited speaker at the 3rd European Congress of Mathematicians 2000 in Barcelona. In 2002 he was an EMS Lecturer and in 2011 he received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council.
