Brief Research Description
-
Calculus of Variations
We are interested in fundamental theory and computational algorithms for multi-marginal optimal transport. Examples where our methodology is applied include Wasserstein Barycenters, Mean-Field games and Trajectory Inference in Biology. We also develop tools to improve the understanding of density estimation and generation in GANs, VAEs, Flow and Diffusion-based Generative Models.

Quantum Chemistry
The focus of our current research is to extend the accuracy of electronic Density Functional Theory (DFT) to systems in which electronic correlation plays a prominent role. In particular using the Stricly Correlated Electron (SCE) formalism in the study of ground state properties of many-electrons system (existence and next-order corrections of SCE DFT) and time-dependent DFT (1d). Another research line focus in extending the accuracy of electronic Density Functional Theory (DFT) to systems in which electronic correlation plays a prominent role. In particular using machine learning methods and the SCE formalism to help in the construction of improved approximate functionals.
