Persons
Maria Teresa Chiri is Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Her research lies at the intersection of partial differential equations, control theory, and applied analysis, with a focus on conservation laws, traffic flow models with autonomous vehicles, and optimal control problems arising in math biology.
Benedetto Piccoli is University Professor and the Joseph and Loretta Lopez Chair Professor of Mathematics at Rutgers University - Camden. He also served as Vice Chancellor for Research and is currently chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences. His research interests span various areas of applied mathematics, including control theory, traffic flow on networks, crowd dynamics, math finance and application to autonomous driving, population health and bio-medical systems. He is author of more than 350 research papers and 7 books and is the founding editor of Networks and Heterogeneous Media. Piccoli is the 2009 Fubini Prize recipient, Plenary speaker at ICIAM 2011, 2012 inaugural Fellow of American Mathematical Society, 2024 SIAM W.T. and Idalia Reid Prize recipient, and 2024 IEEE ITS Institutional Lead Award recipient for the CIRCLES consortium. He spent the 2023-24 AY visiting the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
