Paolo Marcellini (born 25 June 1947 in Fabriano) is an Italian mathematician who deals with mathematical analysis. He was a full professor at the University of Florence, actually Professor Emeritus, who works on partial differential equations, calculus of variations and related mathematics. He was the Director of the Italian National Group GNAMPA of the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica (INdAM) and Dean of the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences of the University of Florence.
Biography
[edit]Marcellini received his Laurea Degree in 1971 at the Sapienza University of Rome and made his postgraduate studies from 1971–1973 at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa under the supervision of Ennio De Giorgi. After that he was assistant and finally a lecturer at the University of Florence, in 1981 full professor at the University of Naples and then at the University of Tor Vergata in Rome.
Since 1985 he is Professor of Analysis in Florence. He was there Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Natural Sciences, Director of the Department of Mathematics "Ulisse Dini" and Coordinator of the graduate program in mathematics (PhD Doctoral Studies).
He was a visiting scientist, among others, the Collège de France in Paris, Bonn and Leipzig (University and Max Planck Institute), University of California at Berkeley, EPFL at Lausanne, Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford, Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Lisbon, Instituto Argentino de Matematica in Buenos Aires, Russian Academy of Sciences Akademgorodok in Novosibirsk, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the University of Texas at Austin, University of Zurich, University of Cologne in Köln, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Hokkaido University in Tokyo, Academia Sinica in Taipei-Taiwan, the Australian National University and the Mittag-Leffler Institute in Sweden.
Its scientific interests mainly are in the fields of calculus of variations and partial differential equations including applications, for example in the theory of non-linear elasticity and in biology.
From 1999 to 2003 he was in Scientific Direction of the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica in Rome. In 2007 he became a member of Academy of Sciences of the Tuscany "La Colombaria". From 2013 to 2017 he has been the elected Director of the Gruppo Nazionale per l'Analisi Matematica, la Probabilità e le loro Applicazioni (GNAMPA) of the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica (INdAM).
Recognition
[edit]In August 2023 Paolo Marcellini was selected as the winner of the 2022 Ames JMAA Prize, awarded annually for the best paper published in the Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications (JMAA) in the last three years. His paper “Growth conditions and regularity for weak solutions to nonlinear elliptic pdes”, JMAA, 501 (September 2021), 124408, was chosen unanimously by the Committee chaired by Professor José Bonet Solves. The award consists of a certificate of merit and a monetary prize donated by Elsevier and the American Mathematical Society (AMS).
