Research Interests

My research interests focus on partial differential equations. Initially, I dealt with the study of parabolic equations, both from a deterministic and from a stochastic point of view. More recently, I started dealing with hyperbolic equations, in particular with Conservation Laws, their basic theory and their applications. Starting with the study of models concerning fluid dynamics and water flow, I considered also the cutting of metal plates by means of laser beams , biology,  epidemiology and, mostly, traffic flow. Modelling needs brought me to consider also mixed systems consisting of conservation/balance laws coupled with ordinary differential equations, also in the presence of constraint.
