Marco Bresciani

Marco Bresciani is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematics, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), working in the Research group of Applied Analysis under Prof. Dr. Manuel Friedrich (2024-present). He previously held postdoctoral positions at FAU (2022-2024) and project assistant roles at TU Wien (2020-2022) and the University of Vienna (2019).

• Education: Master in Mathematics (Università di Pavia, 2016-2019); Bachelor in Mathematics (Università di Trento, 2011-2016).

His research focuses on calculus of variations, multiphysics models with Eulerian-Lagrangian formulations, cavitation and fracture in nonlinear elasticity, rate-independent evolutions, and reduced theories for thin structures. Recent work involves magnetoelasticity, material failure modeling, and dimensional reduction techniques.

Publications highlight trends in variational modeling of material failure, magnetoelastic systems, and nonlinear elasticity. Key subfields include Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, Kármán theory, and Γ-convergence analysis.

• Scientific Awards: Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship.

Affiliated with FAU’s Applied Analysis group, Bresciani collaborates on mathematical modeling of physical phenomena. His work bridges theoretical analysis with computational mechanics applications.
