Paolo Marcellini (born June 25, 1947 in Fabriano) is an Italian mathematician who deals with mathematical analysis. He is a full professor at the University of Florence. He is the Director of the Italian National Group GNAMPA of the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica Francesco Severi (INdAM).

Biography

Marcellini received his Laurea Degree in 1971 at the Sapienza University of Rome and made his postgraduate studies from 1971–1973 at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa under the supervision of Ennio De Giorgi. After that he was assistant and finally a lecturer at the University of Florence, in 1981 full professor at the University of Naples and then at the University of Tor Vergata in Rome.

Since 1985 he is Professor of Analysis in Florence. He was there Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Natural Sciences, Director of the Department of Mathematics "Ulisse Dini" and Coordinator of the graduate program in mathematics (PhD Doctoral Studies).

He was a visiting scientist, among others, the Collège de France in Paris, Bonn and Leipzig (University and Max Planck Institute), University of California at Berkeley, EPFL at Lausanne, Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford, Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Lisbon, Instituto Argentino de Matematica in Buenos Aires, Russian Academy of Sciences Akademgorodok in Novosibirsk, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the University of Texas at Austin, University of Zurich, University of Cologne in Köln, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Hokkaido University in Tokyo, Academia Sinica in Taipei-Taiwan, the Australian National University and the Mittag-Leffler Institute in Sweden.

Its scientific interests mainly are in the fields of calculus of variations and partial differential equations including applications, for example in the theory of non-linear elasticity and in biology.

From 1999 to 2003 he was in Scientific Direction of the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica Francesco Severi in Rome. In 2007 he became a member of Academy of Sciences of the Tuscany "La Colombaria". Since 2013 he is the Director of the Gruppo Nazionale per l'Analisi Matematica, la Probabilità e le loro Applicazioni (GNAMPA) of the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica (INdAM).
