Marcello Seri

Marcello Seri is an Associate Professor at the Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence within the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Groningen. He joined the institute in June 2018 and was promoted to Associate Professor in August 2023. His research focuses on the intersection of Spectral Theory, Differential Geometry, and Dynamical Systems, with applications ranging from sub-Riemannian geometry to celestial mechanics.

Seri holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Bologna and University of Erlangen (2012), a Laurea Magistrale from the University of Bologna (2008), and a Laurea Triennale from the University of Camerino (2006). His academic career includes positions at University College London, University of Reading, and Citrix Systems Ltd.

His research explores geometric mechanics and spectral theory, particularly in singular systems like sub-Riemannian geometry. Seri collaborates extensively with astrophysicists and mathematical physicists, applying abstract mathematical theories to concrete physical systems. His recent publications focus on relativistic field theories, black hole dynamics, contact Hamiltonian systems, and innovative numerical methods for celestial mechanics.
