معرفی
Enrico Pagani is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Trento. His career includes roles as a Researcher (1983–1987) and Associate Professor of Analytical Mechanics (1987–present). He specializes in Mathematical Physics, focusing on geometric mechanics, calculus of variations, and non-holonomic systems. His research spans general relativity, continuum mechanics, wave propagation, and historical analysis of mathematical contributions by Grassmann and Peano.
Education:
- PhD in Physics, University of Genoa (1979).
Research Interests:
- Geometric formulations of classical mechanics (Lagrangian/Hamiltonian systems).
- Constrained dynamical systems and variational principles.
- Non-holonomic constraints and optimal control theory.
- Historical analysis of Grassmann’s exterior algebra and Peano’s contributions to mathematical analysis.
Publications: Over 38 peer-reviewed papers, including works on geometric constrained variational calculus, non-holonomic systems, and historical mathematical analysis. Recent focuses include second variation analysis and geometric interpretations of Peano’s work.
Editorial Roles:
- Assistant Editor, NoDEA - Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications (1993–1999).
- Member of Editorial Boards for Nonlinear Studies (2001–present) and Mathematics in Engineering, Science and Aerospace (MESA) (2009–present).
Collaborations: Extensive collaboration with Enrico Massa (University of Genoa) on geometric mechanics and calculus of variations. Key projects include the geometric approach to non-holonomic systems and Peano/Grassmann historical analysis.
