Camillo De Lellis (born 11 June 1976) is an Italian mathematician who is active in the fields of calculus of variations, hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, geometric measure theory and fluid dynamics. He is a permanent faculty member in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ias.edu/scholars/de-lellis|title=Camillo De Lellis|website=Institute for Advanced Study|language=en|access-date=7 August 2019}} He was also one of the two managing editors of Inventiones Mathematicae.
Biography
Prior joining the faculty of the Institute for Advanced Study, De Lellis was a professor of mathematics at the University of Zurich from 2004 to 2018.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ias.edu/scholars/de-lellis|title=Camillo De Lellis|website=Institute for Advanced Study|language=en|access-date=7 August 2019}}{{cite web|title=Mathematician Camillo De Lellis Appointed to the Faculty of the Institute for Advanced Study|date=22 January 2018|url=https://www.ias.edu/news/2017/delellis-appointment|accessdate=3 April 2018}} Before this, he was a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zurich and at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ias.edu/scholars/de-lellis|title=Camillo De Lellis|website=Institute for Advanced Study|language=en|access-date=7 August 2019}} He received his PhD in mathematics from the Scuola Normale Superiore at Pisa, under the guidance of Luigi Ambrosio in 2002.
Scientific activity
De Lellis has given a number of remarkable contributions in different fields related to partial differential equations. In geometric measure theory he has been interested in the study of regularity and singularities of minimising hypersurfaces, pursuing a program aimed at disclosing new aspects of the theory started by Almgren in his "Big regularity paper".{{cite book|title=Almgren's Big Regularity Paper|volume=1|publisher=World Scientific|doi=10.1142/4253|isbn=978-981-02-4108-7|series=World Scientific Monograph Series in Mathematics|year=2000}}{{cite book|title=𝑄-valued functions revisited|url=https://www.ams.org/books/memo/0991/|series=Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society|arxiv=0803.0060|year=2011|first1=Camillo|last1=De Lellis|first2=Emanuele Nunzio|last2=Spadaro|volume=211 |issue=991 |doi=10.1090/S0065-9266-10-00607-1 }}
There Almgren proved his famous regularity theorem asserting that the singular set of an m-dimensional mass-minimizing surface has dimension at most m − 2. De Lellis has also worked on various aspects of the theory of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws and of incompressible fluid dynamics. In particular, together with László Székelyhidi Jr., he has introduced the use of convex integration{{cite web|title=Convex Integration|url=http://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/index.php/Convex_integration|publisher=Encyclopedia of Mathematics|accessdate=10 May 2013}} methods and differential inclusions to analyse non-uniqueness issues for weak solutions to the Euler equation.{{cite web|title=The Euler equations as a differential inclusion|url=http://annals.math.princeton.edu/2009/170-3/p09|publisher=Annals of Mathematics|accessdate=10 May 2013}}
Recognition
De Lellis has been awarded the Stampacchia Medal in 2009, the Fermat Prize in 2013 and the Caccioppoli Prize in 2014.{{cite web|title=Fermat Prize 2013|url=http://smf4.emath.fr/en/Publications/Gazette/2014/141/smf_gazette_141_113-118.pdf|publisher=Société Mathématique de France|accessdate=29 July 2014}} He has been invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010 and plenary speaker at the European Congress of Mathematics in 2012.{{cite web|title=European Congress of Mathematics 2012|url=http://www.6ecm.pl//|accessdate=10 May 2013}} In 2012 he has also been awarded a European Research Council grant.{{cite web|title=ERC starting grants 2012|url=http://www.kowi.de/Portaldata/2/Resources/fp7/erc/FP7-ERC-StG-2012-results-all-domains.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202230444/http://www.kowi.de/Portaldata/2/Resources/fp7/erc/FP7-ERC-StG-2012-results-all-domains.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=2 December 2013|publisher=European Research Council|accessdate=10 May 2013}} In 2020 he has been awarded the Bôcher Memorial Prize.{{cite web|title=Camillo De Lellis, Lawrence Guth, and Laure Saint-Raymond Will Each Receive the 2020 Bôcher Memorial Prize|url=https://www.ams.org/tools/news?news_id=5616|publisher=American Mathematical Society|accessdate=25 April 2022}}{{citation|title=2020 Bôcher Memorial Prize|date=April 2020 |journal=Notices of the American Mathematical Society|url=https://www.ams.org/journals/notices/202004/rnoti-p546.pdf |pages=546–549|volume=67|issue=4}}.
