Stefano Panizzi

Stefano Panizzi is a Researcher in Mathematical Analysis at the Department of Mathematics, University of Parma. His work focuses on nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations, including Kirchhoff-type equations, Timoshenko beam models, and singular perturbations. He has collaborated with institutions such as the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications at the University of Minnesota.

• Researcher at University of Parma since 1991
• PhD in Mathematics at University of Pisa (1990-1991)
• Graduated in Mathematics at University of Parma (1989)

Research interests include:

• Time-global solvability of nonlinear hyperbolic equations
• Well-posedness of second/fourth-order equations in bounded domains
• Unilateral problems and singular perturbations
• Invariance properties in linear hyperbolic systems (e.g., Timoshenko beam)
• Variational formulations for boundary integral equations in wave propagation

Recent publications (2016-2024) examine instability in suspension bridge models, energy transfer between oscillation modes, spectral gaps in Kirchhoff equations, and space-time variational formulations for wave equations. His work often intersects mathematical analysis and physical modeling.

Scientific contributions:

• CNR Grant (1995) for research at the University of Minnesota
• Collaborations with A. Arosio, C. Marchionna, and international institutions

Teaching includes foundational courses in Mathematics and Mathematical Analysis for Mathematics and Physics degrees, with long-term appointments in Basic Mathematics for Food Science and Technology programs.
