Diego Ricciotti

Welcome to my website!

I am an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at California State University - Sacramento.

Before that, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of South Florida in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, working in the research group of Thomas Bieske. I received my Ph.D in Mathematics in 2018 from the University of Pittsburgh under the supervision of Juan Manfredi and Marta Lewicka.

Scrolling down you will find for more information about my research interests, papers, current and past courses.

My Fall 2020 Office Hours are Monday 12-1:50 p.m and Wednesday 1-1:50 p.m.
If you can't make it, send me an e-mail to schedule extra office hours at a more convenient time.

RESEARCH

Research Interests: Regularity theory for (subelliptic) degenerate PDEs, game theoretical interpretation of PDEs, calculus of variations, mathematical theory of elasticity.
