Research Areas:

I focus my research on entropy methods for systems of nonlinear diffusive Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), with particular attention to cross-diffusion and nonlocal diffusion structures. More in general, I am interested in the derivation, analysis and numerics of PDEs describing physical/chemical/biological systems like e.g. population dynamics, chemically reacting fluid mixtures, multiphase flow in porous media, biofilms, charge and spin transport in semiconductors.
