PASTIS is an ERC Starting Grant project (2022) led by Mitia Duerinckx - Analysis and Partial Differential Equations, Faculty of Science


The research of Mitia Duerinckx - Analysis and Partial Differential Equations, Faculty of Science - is concerned, from a mathematical point of view, with the role of microscopic disorder in complex physical systems, and with the fundamental effects that sometimes follow on the macroscopic scale.

They are in the tradition of Hilbert's 6th problem, i.e. the rigorous deduction of effective physical theories describing these emergent effects, starting from fundamental microscopic descriptions.

These questions are related to many major open problems in mathematical physics, notably in relation to the emergence of irreversibility, and their understanding is of fundamental interest, which will be the objective of the PASTIS project supported by the European Research Council.

Mathematically, this project is at the crossroads between the analysis of partial differential equations and probability.
