Wir freuen uns, Professor Gigliola Staffilani als Hauptrednerin der Alice Roth Lecture 2023 ankündigen zu können.
Gigliola Staffilani:
Waves: building blocks in nature and in mathematics
Gigliola Staffilani is Abby Rockefeller Mauze Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In her lecture entitled: "Waves: building blocks in nature and in mathematics", she will first give a few examples of wave phenomena in nature and will then explain how mathematicians use tools from many different areas of mathematics such as Fourier analysis, harmonica analysis, dynamical systems, number theory and probability to understand these phenomena. She will also give examples of the beautiful interaction between the "concrete" and the "abstract" and how this interaction constantly moves forward the boundaries of research.
