Short bio

Mauro Giudici earned a Laurea in Physics (1987) , from Università degli Studi di Milano (Italy). He is now a Professor at the Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra “A. Desio”, at the same University. His work in mathematical modelling, inverse problems, groundwater hydrology, geophysical exploration, and atmospheric physics has resulted in about 100 indexed publications and many presentations at international conferences, where he sometimes served as the organizer of sessions or chairperson. His teaching activity is very relevant at different levels (BS, MS, and PhD): he has responsible for course units and advisor of more than 100 students. He is a member of several scientific associations (EGU, EAGE, AGU, IAMG, IAHS, IAH, IPIA, AISAM, SII-IHS, SSSA, SIF, and ISA). He was awarded as outstanding editor of Hydrology and Earth System Sciences in 2015 and served as a reviewer for hundreds of papers submitted to the most important international scientific journals of hydrology and geophysics and for journals in applied mathematics. He serves as an evaluator for several national and international funding agencies and institutions.

Prof. Luca Rondi

Short bio

Luca Rondi obtained the Degree in Mathematics at the University of Trieste in 1996 and the Ph.D in Mathematics at SISSA, Trieste, in 1999. He held postdoc poitions at the University of Linz, Austria, in 1999/2000, and at the University of Minnesota, USA, in 2000/2001. He worked at the Universtiy of Trieste, first as Ricercatore (2001-2012) and then as Associate Professor (2012-2018). From 2018 he served as Associate Professor at the University of Milano. From 2021 he is Associate Professor at the University of Pavia.

He is Member of the Editorial Board of the journal “Communications on Analysis and Computation” since its inception in 2023. His research focuses on the analysis of inverse problems for PDE’s (uniqueness, stability and variational methods of reconstruction), on imaging and on the Calculus of Variations.
