Giancarlo Sangalli

Giancarlo Sangalli is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pavia. His research focuses on Scientific Computing, particularly Numerical Methods and Applications, with a strong emphasis on Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) for solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). He leads the Scientific Computing group and contributes to interdisciplinary fields such as computational mechanics, biomedical engineering, and environmental modeling.

His work integrates advanced numerical techniques, including high-order finite element methods, space-time formulations, and matrix-free solvers, to address challenges in computational efficiency and accuracy. Key areas of application include cardiac electrophysiology, wave propagation, and groundwater flow modeling. Sangalli has pioneered low-rank solvers, Tucker tensor-based methods, and immersed boundary techniques to enhance computational scalability.

He actively publishes in top journals and conferences, with a focus on advancing IGA theory and its applications to real-world problems. His research also explores uncertainty quantification, Bayesian calibration, and nonlinear dynamics. Despite no explicitly listed awards, his extensive publication record reflects recognition in computational mathematics and engineering.
