Elisa Davoli

Elisa Davoli is a Professor of Multiscale Calculus of Variations at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), leading the Research Group Multiscale Variational Calculus. She holds a PhD from SISSA (Trieste) and has earned prestigious awards including the Richard von Mises Prize (2020) and FWF START Prize (2020). Her research focuses on materials science, calculus of variations, and PDEs, with applications to elasticity, phase transitions, and image reconstruction.

She teaches courses like Mathematics for Electrical Engineering and Gamma Convergence, and actively organizes international workshops on topics like Shape Optimization and Multiscale Modeling. Her work bridges mathematical analysis and material science, addressing challenges in metamaterials, homogenization, and nonlocal effects.

• Research Interests: Homogenization, magnetoelasticity, fracture mechanics, calculus of variations, nonlocal models.
• Key Projects: FWF-SFB grants, START Prize research on tunable materials, and international collaborations with institutions like UTIA (Prague).
• Awards: Richard von Mises Prize (GAMM, 2020), FWF START Prize (2020), Faculty Teaching Award (2018).

Her publications span over 60 papers in journals like Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis and SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, addressing topics from morphoelasticity to Cahn-Hilliard systems. She also supervises research groups and contributes to the SFB Taming Complexity in Partial Differential Systems initiative.
