Florin Catrina

Florin Catrina is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at St. John's University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. With a PhD in Mathematics from Utah State University (2000) and a Master's/Bachelor's from the University of Bucharest, Romania, his research focuses on Applied Analysis and Partial Differential Equations.

• PhD, Mathematics (2000) - Utah State University
• M.S., B.S., Mathematics - University of Bucharest, Romania

His research spans nonlinear analysis, weighted Sobolev spaces, and existence/qualitative properties of PDE solutions. His work includes studies on Green's functions, spectral analysis, and applications to chemotaxis systems. Publications often address critical exponents, symmetry properties, and embedding theorems.

Teaching includes graduate courses in Probability and Mathematical Modeling, alongside undergraduate courses ranging from Calculus to Applied Probability for Actuarial Sciences. Articles demonstrate expertise in nonlinear PDEs, with emphasis on compact embeddings, critical growth, and symmetry analysis across dimensions.
