Mariano Giaquinta

Mariano Giaquinta is a Professor at Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, specializing in Calculus of Variations and Continuum Mechanics. His research focuses on variational methods applied to material science, fracture mechanics, and geometric measure theory. He has organized events like the 2018 anniversary for the journal 'Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations.'

Key research interests include stress constraints in materials, energy relaxation in manifold-constrained mappings, and mathematical modeling of brittle fractures. His work integrates geometric analysis with physical applications, addressing topics like BV spaces, Sobolev mappings, and curvature varifolds.

Publications span over 15 years, emphasizing variational approaches to complex materials, stratified energies, and topological defects. Collaborators include P.M. Mariano, G. Modica, and D. Mucci. No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but his extensive publication record reflects significant contributions to the field.
