Paolo Piersanti works in applied mathematics, focusing on the mathematical modeling and analysis of elastic shells and membranes (thin curved structures) and how they behave when they touch or are constrained by obstacles. Much of the work involves proving that solutions to these physical models exist and developing numerical methods to compute them, including applications like the dynamics of ice sheets. This research sits at the intersection of partial differential equations, mechanics, and computational mathematics.
Publication activity grew through the late 2010s, peaked around 2021-2022, and has remained steady in recent years at roughly five to seven papers per year.
