Michela Eleuteri

Michela Eleuteri serves as a Full Professor in the Department of Physical, Computer and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, specializing in Mathematical Analysis (MATH-03/A). Her academic profile demonstrates a dual expertise in theoretical mathematical analysis and historical perspectives of mathematics.

Her research focuses on several interconnected areas:

• Regularity theory for minimizers of variational integrals with emphasis on Lipschitz continuity
• Functionals with nonstandard growth conditions including variable exponents and generalized Orlicz norms
• Bounded variation spaces and their applications to image processing
• Homogenization theory and asymptotic analysis of thin structures
• Historical development of mathematical concepts with educational applications

Prof. Eleuteri's publication trajectory reveals an evolving research program that increasingly bridges classical mathematical analysis with contemporary applications in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Her recent work demonstrates how foundational mathematical concepts can inform modern computational approaches, particularly in optimization and image processing. This interdisciplinary approach is also reflected in her teaching, where she connects historical mathematical developments with current theoretical frameworks.

Her teaching responsibilities span multiple academic programs:

• History of Mathematics for the Science Teaching and Communication Master's program
• Mathematical Analysis II for Civil and Environmental Engineering students
• Advanced courses in Convex Analysis and Optimization for Mathematics graduate students
• History of Mathematics I and II within specialized mathematics tracks

Prof. Eleuteri maintains an active scholarly presence with continuous publication output from 2004 through 2025, demonstrating sustained research productivity and evolving scholarly interests that increasingly incorporate applications to modern computational fields while maintaining strong theoretical foundations in mathematical analysis.
