Sandra Cerrai

I am a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park.

I received my PhD in 1998 from the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, under the supervision of Giuseppe Da Prato. Before joining UMD in 2008, I was first an Assistant Professor and then an Associate Professor at the University of Florence in Italy.

My research lies in Probability and Stochastic Analysis. I am particularly interested in systems with multiple scales that are modeled by stochastic partial differential equations. Topics of interest include small noise asymptotics, long-time behavior, averaging and homogenization phenomena, and singular perturbation problems. I am especially interested in understanding how these aspects of the dynamics interplay with one another. I also work on the theory of PDEs in infinite-dimensional spaces.
