Mark A. Peletier

Mark A. Peletier is a Full Professor at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven within the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. His research bridges differential equations, variational calculus, and applications in biology, geology, chemistry, and physics. He has held visiting positions at institutions in London, Bath, and Vancouver, and serves on editorial boards of international journals.

• Education: MSc (cum laude) and PhD in Mathematics from Leiden University, Diplôme d'Études Approfondies from Université Paris VI.
• Appointments: University of Bath (1997-1998), CWI Amsterdam (1998-2004), TU Eindhoven (2004-present).

Peletier’s research spans gradient flows, large deviations, and nonlinear systems. His work on Hamilton-Jacobi equations and molecular motors provides theoretical insights into transport phenomena, while his contributions to neural stochastic differential equations integrate mathematics with machine learning. He emphasizes breaking detailed balance for directional transport in stochastic models.

Recent publications focus on spectral problems, Coulomb interactions, and interpretable AI. His mathematical frameworks unify stochastic processes, variational principles, and multiscale modeling. Collaborations extend across disciplines, including energy engineering and computational chemistry.

Scientific recognition includes NWO Vidi (2003) and Vici (2011) grants, and membership in De Jonge Akademie (2006-2011). He has supervised 49 research works and contributes to journals like Electronic Journal of Probability and Lecture Notes on Mathematical Modelling in the Life Sciences.
