Research Summary

Staffilani is among the leading young analysts in the study of dispersive nonlinear wave pde's, used for modeling wave phenomena. Two of her recent advances include proof of the symplectic non-squeezing of the Korteweg-de-Vries flow and proof of global well-posedness for the critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in 3D.
