Professor Giampaolo D'Alessandro is Professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Southampton.
Prof D'Alessandro's research interests are in differential equation based modelling, in particular in the context of liquid crystals and all their applications, from optics to biology.
He is particularly interested in developing clever numerical algorithms to model liquid crystal configurations and to analyse experimental data to determine liquid crystal parameters. His interest in modelling is also reflected in his teaching which has covered over the years Numerical Methods, Electromagnetism, Mathematical Biology, Mathematical Modelling with Differential Equations and Fluid Dynamics. To all these modules he has tried to convey his enthusiasm for an accurate and effective mathematical interpretation of the world around us that will ultimately lead us to a better understanding of it and, hopefully, to treat it better.
