Anton Evgrafov

Anton Evgrafov is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Aalborg University (AAU), affiliated with The Faculty of Engineering and Science. His research focuses on optimal design, nonlocal nonlinear diffusion, and control theory, with applications in electrical engineering and material science. He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Chalmers University of Technology (2004), specializing in topology optimization problems. Key contributions include advancements in nonlocal complementary energy principles, dual approaches to optimal control, and sparsity-promoting evaluation methods for power semiconductors.

Research interests span nonlocal mechanics, peridynamics, and computational methods for engineering systems. Recent work emphasizes energy minimization principles, coefficient optimization in nonlinear systems, and design under vanishing material constraints. He actively participates in conferences and workshops, such as EUROMECH Colloquium 643 and the Qiskit Global Summer School, and delivers guest lectures on topics like nonlocal bond-based peridynamic diffusion.
