Francesco Maggi is a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on geometric measure theory, calculus of variations, and partial differential equations, with an emphasis on isoperimetric problems, capillarity theory, and mean curvature flow. His work explores stability properties of geometric configurations, regularity of minimal surfaces, and applications to physical phenomena like soap films and crystal structures.
Key research areas include: geometric variational problems, quantitative isoperimetric inequalities, nonlocal surface tensions, and singular limits in free boundary problems. His contributions have advanced understanding of minimal surfaces, rigidity in geometric inequalities, and energy-driven pattern formation.
Recent work addresses topics such as almost-honeycomb structures in low-energy clusters, mesoscale flatness criteria for hypersurfaces, and the approximation of Plateau’s laws via phase-field models. Collaborations span analysis, geometry, and mathematical physics, with applications to materials science and continuum mechanics.
