Andrea Braides

Andrea Braides (born 12 April 1961) is an Italian mathematician, specializing in the calculus of variations. He is a professor at the University of Rome Tor Vergata and at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Triest.
Education and career
Born in
Scuola Normale Superiore. He taught at the University of Udine in 1985–86 and then served two years of servizio civile. At the University of Brescia
, he became in 1988 a research associate and in 1992 an associate professor. From 1995 to 2000 he was an associate professor at SISSA in Triest and from 2000 to the present a full professor at the University of Rome Tor Vergata.
He was a visiting professor at the
Carnegie-Mellon University, at Stanford University (Timoshenko scholar) and at the department of aerospace engineering at the University of Minnesota
. He was a one-year visiting fellow at Mansfied College and visiting professor at the Mathematical Institute in Oxford in 2013–14.
Braides has done research on the calculus of variations,
Gamma convergence, asymptotic homogenization, discrete variational problems, percolation, fracture mechanics, image processing, free-discontinuity problems, and geometric measure theory
.
In 2014 he was an Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul with talk Discrete-to-continuum variational methods for lattice systems.[1]
On the occasion of his 60th birthday he was the dedicatee of the international conference "Calculus of Variations. Back to Carthage" held in Carthage, Tunisia from 16–20 May 2022.
