معرفی
Constantine Dafermos is the Alumni-Alumnae University Professor of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. He has held academic positions since 1968, including Assistant Professor at Cornell University (1968–1971) and roles at Brown University (Associate Professor 1971–1975, Professor since 1975).
- Education: Diploma in Civil Engineering, National Technical University of Athens (1964); Ph.D. in Mechanics, Johns Hopkins University (1967).
His research focuses on the intersection of continuum mechanics and partial differential equations, particularly nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws and shock wave dynamics. Recent projects include studying uniqueness/stability of solutions in elastodynamics and electromagnetism, continuous solutions of hyperbolic balance laws, and irrotational gas flow analysis using compensated compactness.
No academic awards, advised students, or grant details are explicitly listed in the text. His office is located in Room 204, 170 Hope Street, Brown University.
