Luis Caffarelli

Luis Caffarelli

Luis A. Caffarelli (born December 8 1948 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine-United States mathematician and leader in the field of partial differential equations and their applications.

Caffarelli obtained his Masters of Science (1968) and Ph.D. (1972) at the University of Buenos Aires. He currently holds the Sid Richardson Chair at the University of Texas at Austin. He also has been a professor at the University of Minnesota, the University of Chicago, and the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. From 1986 to 1996 he was a permanent member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. In 1991 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. He has been awarded "Doctor Honoris Causa" from l'Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris; Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and Universidad de La Plata, Argentina. He received the Bôcher Prize in 1984.

Caffarelli is the world's leading expert in free boundary problems for nonlinear partial differential equations. He is also famous for his contributions to the Monge-Ampere equation. Recently, he has taken an interest in homogenization.

In 2005, he received the prestigious Rolf Schock Prize of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences "for his important contributions to the theory of nonlinear partial differential equations".

Bibliography
