Matteo Negri

Matteo Negri is Associate Professor in Mathematical Analysis at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Pavia and is the Coordinator of the M.Sc. in Mathematics. His research area focuses on the Calculus of Variations, with applications in Computational and Theoretical Fracture Mechanics. He has published more than 50 research papers and collaborates with leading computational mechanics groups at Caltech, Stanford, and ETH.  Throughout his career, he has been a member of the ERC advanced grant “Quasistatic and Dynamic Evolution Problems in Plasticity and Fracture”, host of the project “Fracture Mechanics” (CARIPLO), and recipient of the grant “A Finite Element Model for Cohesive Fracture“ (CNR). Additionally, he was a plenary speaker at “GIMC 2008", a Timoshenko Visiting Scholar at Stanford, and a key-note lecturer at “CFRAC 2013”. He has advised more than twenty B.Sc. and M.Sc. students in pure and applied mathematics, as well as Ph.D. students in Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, and Computational Mechanics.
