Murat Akman

Dr. Murat Akman is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Essex, UK. He holds a PhD from the University of Kentucky (2014) and a BSc from Middle East Technical University (2006). His academic journey includes postdoctoral roles at the University of Connecticut, MSRI Berkeley, and the Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas in Madrid. His research focuses on the intersection of harmonic analysis, elliptic/parabolic PDEs, potential theory, and geometric measure theory, with particular emphasis on variational methods, regularity theory, and geometric inequalities.

His work explores topics such as free boundary problems, conformal densities, Brunn-Minkowski inequalities, and Minkowski-type problems. He has contributed to understanding the interplay between geometric structures and solutions to nonlinear PDEs. His recent publications highlight advancements in elliptic operator perturbations, boundary behavior of solutions, and the application of geometric measure theory to PDE analysis.

Acknowledging his expertise, he has held fellowships at Institut Mittag-Leffler and MSRI Berkeley. His teaching and supervision activities reflect his dedication to academic mentorship, supported by an open-door policy at the University of Essex.
