We are delighted to announce that Massimiliano Gubinelli has been appointed the new Wallis Professor of Mathematics in Oxford.
Max did his PhD in Theoretical Physics at the University of Pisa, and held professorships at Paris -Sud and Paris Dauphine before taking his current position as the Hausdorff Chair at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics in Bonn where he specialises in the analysis of stochastic PDEs and the development and generalisation of the Rough Path theory introduced originally by Terry Lyons, whom he succeeds in the Chair.
In particular Max has generalised rough path theory to a wider class of signals, branched rough paths, and has developed other approaches in order to handle more complex dynamics like those underlying parabolic and hyperbolic PDEs.
We look forward to his arrival in Oxford.
