Mathematical interest: 

I do research in Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). I am particularly interested in nonlinear PDEs, free boundary problems,  variational problems, non-local or fractional problems and nonlinear eigenvalue problems.

PhD/Master/Bachelor: If you are a student interested in a PhD, master or bachelor project, I encourage you to contact me to discuss possible projects.
