معرفی
Rupert L. Frank is a Visiting Associate Professor in Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), part of the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy. His research focuses on Analysis, Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), and Mathematical Physics, with an emphasis on developing analytical tools to understand complex natural phenomena. Frank earned his Diplom from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich (2003) and his Ph.D. from the Royal Institute of Technology (2007).
His research interests span functional inequalities, spectral theory, and mathematical physics, particularly in the context of quantum systems and PDEs. Frank has contributed to topics such as the Lieb-Thirring inequalities, fractional Sobolev spaces, and the liquid drop model for nuclear matter. He is an editorial board member for journals including Communications in Contemporary Mathematics, Journal of Mathematical Physics, and Journal of Spectral Theory.
Frank’s work often bridges analysis and physics, addressing questions in quantum mechanics, nonlinear PDEs, and geometric analysis. His recent articles explore quantum corrections to polaron models, inequalities in Lp spaces, and energy asymptotics in critical elliptic equations. Collaborations include notable figures like Elliott H. Lieb and Robert Seiringer.
