Filippo Santambrogio

Filippo Santambrogio is a Full Professor at Université Claude Bernard - Lyon 1, affiliated with the Institut Camille Jordan. His research focuses on optimal transport theory, calculus of variations, partial differential equations, and gradient flows. He has authored influential books such as *Optimal Transport for Applied Mathematicians* and contributed to foundational work on the JKO scheme and Mean Field Games. Santambrogio has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant for his project on the JKO scheme and collaborates with institutions like Huawei's Lagrange Center. He actively organizes workshops and lectures internationally, including a 2023 LMS mini-course. His recent work explores applications in crowd dynamics, congestion models, and numerical methods for optimal transport. Notable awards include the ERC Advanced Grant (2023). His teaching includes courses on variational methods and optimal transport, and he advises students like Annette Dumas.
