PDE and Data Analysis

Prof. Dr. Franca Hoffmann

Franca Hoffmann's research is focused on the interface between applied mathematics and data analysis, with particular interets in:

(1) the theory of nonlinear and nonlocal partial differential equations, making use of gradient flows, entropy methods, functional inequalities, optimal transport techniques, kinetic theory, particle methods and relationships between different scales; and

(2) the development of novel tools for data analysis and mathematical approaches to machine learning, involving graph based methods for unsupervised and semi-supervised learning, focusing on data clustering and classification, graph Laplacians and their continuum counterparts, spectral analysis, uncertainty quantification and consistency analysis.
