Research interests

Prof. Mondino works at the interface of analysis and geometry. More specifically, his research focuses on problems arising in differential and metric geometry, approached through analytic techniques such as optimal transport, functional analysis, partial differential equations, the calculus of variations, gradient flows, nonlinear analysis, and geometric measure theory.

While his work is primarily theoretical, both the topics he investigates and the methods he employs have deep connections with applications in the natural sciences—particularly physics and biology—as well as in economics.
