Elisa DavoliView profile

Professor

• Calculus of Variations
• Micromagnetics
• Solid-Solid Phase Transitions
• +4 more

Elisa Davoli is a Professor at TU Wien, affiliated with the Multiscale Calculus of Variations Research Group (E101-01-3). Her work focuses on calculus of variations, micromagnetics, and material science, with applications in phase transitions, nonlocal models, and stochastic homogenization. She collaborates extensively with researchers such as Irene Fonseca, Manuel Friedrich, and Ulisse Stefanelli. Her recent research includes studies on fractional Cahn-Hilliard systems, sharp-interface limits, and optimal control in nonlocal frameworks. She also investigates stochastic homogenization in micromagnetics and structural changes in nonlocal denoising models through bilevel learning. Key contributions include existence results in large-strain magnetoelasticity, two-scale convergence methods for composite materials, and the derivation of linearized fracture models under non-interpenetration constraints. Her work bridges mathematical analysis with applications in solid mechanics and image processing.
