Giorgio Stefani

Giorgio Stefani is a Fixed-Term Researcher (Ricercatore a Tempo Determinato di tipo A - RTDA) at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova (Italy). He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa (2020) and has held postdoctoral positions at the University of Basel (2020-2022) and SISSA Trieste (2022-2024).

• Ph.D.: Mathematics, Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa (2020)
• PostDoc: University of Basel (2020-2022)
• PostDoc: SISSA Trieste (2022-2024)
• Current: Fixed-Term Junior Assistant Professor, University of Padova (2024-)

His research focuses on Analysis of PDEs, Functional Analysis, and Metric Geometry, with particular emphasis on:

• Fractional calculus and non-local functionals
• Geometric measure theory and perimeter minimization
• Sharp inequalities in Sobolev spaces
• Applications to Euler and Vlasov-Poisson systems
• Topological singularities in variational problems

His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward Gamma-convergence of fractional energies, Hardy inequalities, and non-local perimeters. He actively participates in geometric analysis seminars and workshops, including the 2022 Rome workshop on anisotropic isoperimetric problems.
