Stefano Almi

Stefano Almi is an Associate Professor at the University of Naples Federico II. His research focuses on calculus of variations, partial differential equations, fracture mechanics, and optimal control, with applications in material science and elasticity. He has contributed to topics such as free discontinuity problems, nonlocal approximations, and geometric rigidity in multi-well systems.

Almi has organized several conferences, including the upcoming 'Variational Analysis of complex systems in Materials Science, Physics and Biology' (Oct 2025) and 'Variational models in Materials Science-III' (Feb 2025). He has spoken at events like 'Recent progress in PDEs' (Feb 2025) and 'Beyond Elasticity: Advances and Research Challenges' (May 2022).

His recent work explores mean-field limits, agent-based models, and fractional approaches to plasticity. He has collaborated extensively with researchers such as R. Durastanti, M. Friedrich, and F. Solombrino, producing publications in journals like Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations and Mathematische Annalen.
