GUnDHam is funded by the ERC Consolidator grant call 2023, receiving a budget of about 1.500.000 Euros.
This project aims to prove rigorous results on the generation of unstable dynamics in the dispersive Hamiltonian water waves and geophysical fluid equations: for example formation of energy cascades from low to high frequencies, orbital instabilities and extreme rare phenomena such as rogue waves. All these behaviors are well documented in experiments, real world data and numerical simulations, but still lack a rigorous mathematical proof. Accordingly the project has three lines of research:
Alberto is the PI of the project. He is associate Professor at SISSA since 2022. Previously, he has been assistant Professor at SISSA. He got a PhD in Mathematics in 2014, in cotutelle between the University of Zurich and University of Milan. He is a mathematician who works on Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and infinite dimensional Hamiltonian systems.
