Nicola Fusco

Nicola Fusco is a Full Professor at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Naples Federico II. His research focuses on Calculus of Variations, Geometric Measure Theory, and Partial Differential Equations, with emphasis on isoperimetric inequalities, surface diffusion flows, and energy minimization problems. He has contributed to foundational work in quantitative geometric inequalities, stability estimates for geometric flows, and variational models in materials science.

Recent activities include studies on surface diffusion flat flows, capillary energy inequalities, and nanowire growth models. Fusco organizes conferences in Calculus of Variations and has participated in events such as the 'Frontiers of the Calculus of Variations' (2024) and 'Nonlinear PDEs and Applications' (2022). His work bridges geometric analysis with applied mathematics, addressing both theoretical aspects (e.g., analytic stability of flows) and practical applications (e.g., epitaxial thin film mechanics).
