From
Francesco Maggi’s work is in the broad area of the calculus of variations and of geometric measure theory. He is interested in variational problems of geometric character motivated by physical applications— such as liquid droplets, soap films, and material or cellular membranes —and in the quantification of rigidity theorems in geometry and analysis.
