A summer school in honor of Luigi Ambrosio — Optimal transport, heat flow and synthetic Ricci bounds

This summer school is being held to celebrate Luigi Ambrosio who won the 2024 Frederic Esser Nemmers Prize in Mathematics for his "deep and numerous contributions to calculus of variations and geometric measure theory, and broad and far-reaching influence of these fields." Ambrosio is Professor of Mathematics, and currently serving as Director, of the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. See here for more information about the Nemmers Prize. The summer school schedule will include three mini-courses and three one-hour research talks given by experts in the field, including a mini-course by Ambrosio himself. The summer school is aimed at mathematics graduate students, postdocs and junior faculty.
