- Born at Vigevano (Italy)
in September 1958.
- Married, three children.
- Currently Professor
of Mathematical Analysis.
- His
academical career
started in 1983
with a researcher position; then he became associate professor in 1992
and
full professor in 1994.
- The teaching
experience includes
courses
in Calculus and Advanced Calculus for students of Mathematics,
Engineering, Computer Sciences, and Physics, and courses in Nonlinear
Partial Differential Equations for PhD students.
- Concerning
the
research activity, he
is
author or coauthor of more than 90 papers.
The main research subject regards nonlinear evolution problems arising
from differential models in Thermodynamics, Mechanics and Physics, Physiology.
- Basically
interested in proving
existence
and uniqueness theorems;
other issues are regularity, asymptotic behaviour of the solution
with respect to time or to special parameters, stability and
convergence as well as error estimates for time discretization or for
other
approximations.
- Pierluigi
Colli spent one year in
Paris
VI in 1985-86 and visited several foreign universities.
He attended and contributed to a number of congresses and workshops.
- He serves in
the editorial board of
the
journals "Mathematical
Methods in the Applied Sciences"
(since 1997) and "Advances in
Mathematical Sciences and Applications" (since 2002).
