PhD student at BCAM

I work on inverse problems arising on PDEs. The starting point of my thesis lies at the inverse scattering problem with partial data. Overall, I’m interested in those problems with a tractable connection to physics and other sciences.

I work on inverse problems arising in PDEs, especially these with an analytical flavour. I am very interested in problems of regularity which require tools from harmonic and microlocal analysis. Recently, I have also got interested in problems where there is a specific uncertainty which is modelled by random fields.

Alejandro Claros

PhD Student at BCAM

I am working on harmonic analysis topics. My research interests focus on weighted inequalities, Poincaré-type inequalities, fractional Poincaré-Sobolev inequalities and BMO spaces.

Mikel Flórez

PhD Student at BCAM

I am working on harmonic analysis. In particular, I am interested in the theory of singular integrals, directional singular integrals, square functions, and time-frequency analysis.

My research interests mainly lie in the analysis of partial differential equations, with a special focus on models describing fluid dynamics. From a general perspective, I aim to capture effects due to large heterogeneities and lack of regularity.

I study questions linked with well-posedness of the models and asymptotic behaviour of solutions, especially singular perturbation problems and multiscale analysis.

My research interests lie in harmonic analysis, as well as its connections to other areas of mathematics. During my Ph.D. studies I developed the duality theory for the Lp spaces on sets endowed with an outer measure. More recently I have been working in the area of time-frequency analysis, studying certain multilinear multipliers satisfying translation, modulation, and dilation invariances. I am also interested in questions about uniform Fourier restriction.

Rubén de la Fuente

PhD student at BCAM

I am working with Luz Roncal in the analysis of PDEs on graphs. In particular, we look for Hardy uncertainty principles for functions over graphs, for which we study uniqueness properties for the Schrödinger equation with the graph Laplacian. My interests range from functional analysis, PDEs and geometry, to some questions in mathematical physics.

I work on nonlinear effects in mechanics of solids. My master thesis was related to contact problem emerged in simulation of assembly of aircrafts and my PhD thesis was about simulation of wrinkles in bacterial biofilms. My research interests are:

I mainly work in harmonic analysis with applications to PDEs, most notably to the Schrödinger and Navier--Stokes equations.

Pablo Merino

PhD Student at BCAM

Many problems in PDEs can be attacked introducing a suitable probability on the solutions space (for instance Gibbs measures). I am interested in the implementation of this statistical approach to the study of the pointwise behavior of dispersive PDEs. More specifically, in the context of nonlinear wave models, I study the almost everywhere pointwise convergence of the solutions to the initial data, as time goes to zero, namely the nonlinear/probabilistic version of the celebrated Carleson problem.

I am interested in fluid mechanics in general, investigating issues such as existence, regularity, time-periodicity.

Lately I've been working on the fluid-structure interaction, studying fluids that interact with elastic membranes.

Sergio Moroni

PhD Student at BCAM

My research interests lie in between Calculus of Variation and PDEs, with applications to physical models. At the moment I am studying the propagation of a light beam through a liquid crystal. I am also interested in Geometric Measure Theory and analysis on Manifolds

My research is in the topic of multilinear harmonic analysis and concerns studying weighted bounds for multilinear singular integral operators through sparse forms and their connections to vector-valued extensions with respect to UMD Banach spaces. More recently I have been working on developing an understanding of the theory of quasi-Banach function spaces within the context of harmonic analysis as an abstraction of the classical weighted theory in Lebesgue spaces.

Andrea Olivo

My research focuses on problems from harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory. In particular, I like those that lie within the limit of these two areas. Currently, I am interested in Poincaré trace inequalities and the improving behavior of self-similar measures in Lebesgue spaces.

Claudia Peña

PhD Student at BCAM

I'm working between the areas of harmonic analysis and PDEs. More specifically, I apply analytical tools to the study of changes in the topology of the flux lines over time of the solutions to Navier-Stokes and MHD equations, i.e. vortex reconnection and magnetic reconnection, respectively. I also study well-posedness for these equations.

My research interests lie in harmonic analysis and their applications to the dispersive equations. Especially, I study the dispersive, Strichartz, and resolvent estimates associated with Schrödinger operator with potential. And I combine these estimates and  harmonic analysis tools to study the well-posedness, scattering theory and blow-up dynamics for the nonlinear dispersive equations.
