Research Profile:
My research focuses on methods coming from partial differential equations, calculus of variations and control theory to study problems in applied sciences.
In particular I work on
- control of invasive biological species
- traffic flow with autonomous vehicles
- confining fire and optimal blocking problems
- bioinspired PDE models (bio-robotics)
- control of conservation laws
- numerical methods for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws
