I am an associate professor of mathematics at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities (I was an assistant professor from 2019-2024). I am broadly (mathematically) interested in analysis and PDE but have mostly worked on questions at the intersection of harmonic analysis, the calculus of variations and geometric measure theory.
I am excited to be a PI on the new Simons Initiative on the Geometry of Flows. This is a collaboration between mathematicians, numerical analysts and astrophysicists broadly focused on understanding the development of fractal-like behavior at mesoscopic scales in physical phenomenon. You can read more about it here.
Before coming to Minnesota I was a CLE Moore Instructor and NSF Postdoc at MIT, where my sponsoring scientist was David Jerison. Before that, I did my PhD at the University of Chicago, under the supervision of Carlos Kenig. I've also done long stints at MSRI (as the Huneke Postdoc in the Harmonic Analysis Program, mentored by Svitlana Mayboroda) and in Seattle (visiting Tatiana Toro during my PhD).
You can find a relatively up to date copy of my CV here (last updated February 2025).
If you want to contact me, email is best: mengelst@umn.edu. Otherwise you can send mail to the UMN math department care of "Max Engelstein".
I am currently supported by the NSF and the Simons Foundation. Of course, all the views expressed on this page are mine alone and do not represent those of the NSF, the Simons Foundation or the University of Minnesota.
