Hi! My name is Fabian Rupp and I am a postdoc in the group of Ulisse Stefanelli at the University of Vienna. My work is funded by the project Elastic solids with geometric boundary within the ESPRIT program of the FWF.

My research field lies in Geometric Analysis and the Calculus of Variations, particularly concerning Willmore-type functionals. I am also interested in their Gradient Flows and applications in  Nonlinear Elasticity, especially concerning the shape of biological membranes.

I am currently coorganizing the Vienna Geometric Analysis Seminar.
