Giuseppe Buttazzo
Giuseppe Buttazzo (born May 22, 1954 in Castri di Lecce ) is an Italian mathematician who deals with analysis. He is a professor at the University of Pisa .
Buttazzo studied at the University of Pisa with the Laurea degree in 1977 (cum laude) and at the Scuola Normale Superiore with the diploma in the same year with Ennio de Giorgi (Si un tipo di convergenza variazionale). As a post-doctoral student he was at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Saint-Cloud . From 1981 he was a permanent member of the Scuola Normale Superiore and from 1987, after winning a national competition, Professor of Analysis at the University of Ferrara . Since 1990 he has been a professor at the University of Pisa.
He deals with the calculus of variations , including gamma convergence , optimal transport and optimal control theory and optimal shapes, for example with regard to air resistance.
In 2011 he received the Luigi Amerio Prize of the Istituto Lombardo.
