Michael Goldman

Michael Goldman is a junior CNRS researcher at the Centre de Mathématiques Appliquées (CMAP) of École Polytechnique. His research focuses on Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), Geometric Measure Theory, Optimal Transportation, and Calculus of Variations. He explores applications in material sciences, homogenization, and mathematical physics. Notable contributions include studies on Gamma convergence in superconductors, optimal transport dynamics, and branched transport models. His work bridges theoretical analysis with applied problems, addressing topics like liquid drop models, particle systems, and phase transitions. Goldman actively participates in academic networks, organizing conferences and contributing to seminars such as the Parisian Calculus of Variations group. His research also touches on image processing and geometric flows, reflecting interdisciplinary interests in mathematical modeling and analysis.
