Centre for Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

Research focuses on the fundamental analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) and their applications in various areas including geometry, physics, biology, engineering and economics. Current areas of interest include the calculus of variations, inverse problems, optimal transportation, convex geometry, geometric analysis, complex and stochastic PDEs
