# Ulisse Stefanelli

Ulisse Stefanelli is an Italian mathematician. He is currently professor at the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Vienna. His research focuses on calculus of variations, partial differential equations, and materials science.

## Biography

Stefanelli obtained his PhD under the guidance of Pierluigi Colli [Wikidata] in 2003 at the University of Pavia. He holds a Researcher position at the Istituto di Matematica Applicata e Tecnologie Informatiche E. Magenes of the National Research Council (Italy) in Pavia since 2001. In 2013 he has been appointed to the chair of Applied Mathematics and Modeling at the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Vienna. He has also conducted research at the University of Texas at Austin, the ETH and the University of Zurich, the Weierstrass Institute in Berlin, and the Laboratoire de Mécanique et Génie Civil in Montpellier.
Since 2017 he is the speaker of the Spezialforschungsbereich [de] F65 Taming Complexity in Partial Differential Systems funded by the Austrian Science Fund.
