Michael Kiessling

Michael Kiessling is a Professor of Mathematics at Rutgers University, specializing in Mathematical Physics, Statistical Mechanics, and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations. His research focuses on foundational questions in classical and quantum field theories, with particular emphasis on radiation-reaction problems, superconductivity, and gravitational effects in quantum systems. He has explored topics including Dirac operators in curved spacetime, Born-Infeld electrodynamics, and the theoretical underpinnings of Vlasov equations. Kiessling's work frequently bridges mathematical rigor with physical insights, addressing challenges in nonlinear PDEs, general relativity, and quantum mechanics.

His academic career includes contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic theory, relativistic systems, and statistical mechanics of many-body systems. Notable research areas include the dynamics of point charges in modified vacuum models, the spectral properties of Dirac operators in curved spacetimes, and the mathematical foundations of superconductivity.
