Francesco Serra Cassano

Francesco Serra Cassano is a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Trento. His research focuses on geometric measure theory, sub-Riemannian geometry, and calculus of variations, with significant contributions to minimal surfaces, PDEs in metric spaces, and functional analysis. He has organized numerous conferences, including the XXXV Convegno Nazionale di Calcolo delle Variazioni (2026) and the 13th School on Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces (2024). He has also been an invited speaker at events like the PaPa - Padua Paris sub-Riemannian seminar (2021).

Key research interests include intrinsic regularity in Heisenberg groups, Γ-convergence, and geometric analysis in Carnot groups. His work bridges theoretical advancements with applications in geometric measure theory and nonlinear PDEs. Over 30 publications span topics such as area formulas in sub-Riemannian spaces, BV minimizers, and approximation theorems for Lipschitz functions.

His academic engagements include organizing international workshops and schools, reflecting his leadership in the geometric analysis community. No scientific awards are explicitly listed in the provided text.
