Alfonso Sorrentino (Rome, 27 November 1979) is an Italian mathematician, currently full professor of Mathematical analysis at University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy).[1][2][3][4]

His main scientific interests are in the field of dynamical systems, specifically, in the study of Hamiltonian dynamical systems by means of variational methods (Aubry-Mather theory), partial differential equations techniques (weak KAM theory and Hamilton-Jacobi equation) and geometric approaches (symplectic geometry and topology).[5][6][7]

Biography and career

[edit]

Sorrentino was a student of John N. Mather at Princeton University, obtaining his Ph.D. in Mathematics in 2008.[8][9] After his graduation, he held the roles of junior research fellow at Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris (2008–2009),[10] Herchel-Smith Research Fellow at University of Cambridge (2009–2012),[11] Newton Trust Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge (2009–2012), and Researcher at Roma Tre University (2012–2014)[12][13]

Honors and awards
