Discrete Variational Problems with Interfaces

Roberto Alicandro is Full Professor at the University of Naples. He works in the calculus of variations and homogenization. His results have applications in different fields, including atomistic-to-continuum limits for nonlinear models in materials science, topological singularities and defects in materials. He co-authored the monograph 'A Variational Theory of Convolution-type Functionals' (2022).
