Biography
Nikos Katzourakis is based at the University of Reading in the UK. His field of expertise lies in the analysis of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations and Calculus of Variations. His name is connected to contributions in vectorial variational problems for supremal functionals and generalised solutions for fully nonlinear systems.
Eugen Varvaruca is based at the University "Al. I. Cuza’’ of Iasi in Romania. His research work is concerned with the analysis of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations, focusing particularly on free-boundary problems in fluid dynamics. In 2012 he was awarded the Whitehead Prize by the London Mathematical Society for his contributions.
