Ali Taheri is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Sussex, affiliated with the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences and the Department of Mathematics. He holds an ORCID identifier (0000-0001-9639-4291) and has been with the university since 2006, progressing through roles including Lecturer (2006-2011), Senior Lecturer (2011-2014), Reader (2014-2022), and current Professor since 2022. His research focuses on geometric analysis, partial differential equations (PDEs), calculus of variations, harmonic analysis, spectral theory, and nonlinear elasticity.
- Education: BSc in Mechanical Engineering (Tehran, Iran), MSc in Pure Mathematics (Imperial College London), PhD in Mathematics (University of Oxford under Sir John Ball).
- Prior Positions: Postdocs at Courant Institute (NYU) and University of Oxford, lectureships at Oxford, Bath, and Warwick.
His research interests span Nonlinear PDEs, Geometric Analysis, Calculus of Variations, and Harmonic Analysis. Key contributions include studies on the topology of Sobolev spaces, quasiconvexity, and geometric flows like the Ricci-Perelman flow. He has published over 50 papers and a two-volume monograph on Function Spaces and Partial Differential Equations (Oxford University Press).
Recent articles explore gradient estimates for parabolic equations, Liouville theorems, and geometric flows. His work often bridges analysis, geometry, and topology, with applications to continuum mechanics. Awards include the Sussex Teaching Innovation Prize (2016) and teaching excellence accolades.
- Grants: EPSRC grant (2022-2025, £580,000) on 'Topology of Sobolev Spaces and Quasiconvexity.'
- Teaching: Courses include Differential Geometry, Topology, and advanced PDEs. Supervised 10 PhD and over 30 MSc/MMath students.
Ali Taheri organizes conferences like the Oxford Nonlinear PDEs Conference (2024) and leads research on geometric deep learning and spectral graph theory.
