Davide Vittone

Davide Vittone is a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Padua. His research focuses on geometric measure theory, sub-Riemannian geometry, and calculus of variations, with particular emphasis on Carnot-Carathéodory spaces and Heisenberg groups. He has published over 45 papers, including foundational works on BV functions, sub-Riemannian geodesics, and the regularity of intrinsic graphs.

Key contributions include studies on the Stepanov differentiability theorem in Heisenberg groups, rectifiability of finite-perimeter sets in Carnot groups, and the analysis of abnormal sets in optimal control. His work bridges geometric analysis with functional analysis, addressing questions in metric measure spaces and non-smooth calculus.

Vittone has participated in numerous international conferences and workshops, including organizing events such as the 'Geometric Analysis in Metric Measure Spaces' and 'Sub-Riemannian days'. His research often involves collaborations with leading experts in geometric measure theory and control theory.

His academic trajectory includes a PhD from Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa (2008) and extensive postdoctoral experience. He maintains an active role in the mathematical community through seminar presentations, including discussions on rectifiability in sub-Riemannian geometry and regularity problems for geodesics.
