Arghir Dani Zarnescu

My research focuses on the analytical study of fundamental models from condensed matter physics. After graduating from the University of Chicago, under the supervision of Prof. Peter Constantin, with a thesis on polymeric fluids, I moved to Oxford, for 5 years, working under the mentorship of Prof. John M. Ball, on variational theories of liquid crystals. After that I moved away from Oxford, and developed my independent directions of research, while at the University of Sussex, as a lecturer, for 5 years. Since 2016 I have been working as an Ikerbasque Research Professor in  BCAM, as a research-leader of the Applied Analysis, while also holding a part-time position at the "Simion Stoilow" Institute of Mathematics, in Bucharest, Romania.
