✨ Congratulations to André Kowacs on Successfully Defending His PhD Thesis! 🎉👨‍🎓

On By yergenaikynIn Uncategorized

We are thrilled to announce that André Pedroso Kowacs has successfully defended his PhD dissertation jointly at Ghent University and Universidade Federal do Paraná, under the supervision of Profs Alexandre Kirilov and Michael Ruzhansky! 🌟

André began his academic journey with a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from UFPR in 2019. He quickly moved forward, embarking on his PhD directly in 2020, and spent 10 months in Belgium working on a joint PhD at our Ghent Analysis and PDE center of Ghent University. His research interests have focused primarily on analysis and partial differential equations, particularly in the context of compact Lie groups. 🌐🔍

His dissertation, titled “Links between regularity and inequalities on compact Lie groups”, presents remarkable results, including:

  • Global hypoellipticity and solvability of first-order “evolution” differential operators with variable complex coefficients, defined on the finite product of compact Lie groups.
  • Conditions for obtaining a “sharp” Gårding inequality for pseudo-differential operators acting on vector-valued functions and sections of homogeneous vector bundles.

This is a major achievement in the field of mathematics, contributing significantly to our understanding of the intricate connections between regularity and inequalities on compact Lie groups. 💡✨

Throughout his academic career, André has been actively involved in the Linear Equations group and the Universal CNPq projects since 2019. His work has resulted in two published papers and six preprints on arXiv. 📚🎓

Congratulations again to André, on this monumental achievement! 👏 👏👏

We are excited to see all the great things he will accomplish in his future endeavors and wish him all the best in his continued journey of academic and professional excellence. 🥳🎉🎊

Congratulations to Markos Fisseha Yimer on being awarded the IMU-Simons Research Fellowship, a prestigious grant for researchers from developing countries. This fellowship, up to 7,500 USD, will cover his travel, accommodation, and daily expenses for a research visit to our Ghent Analysis & PDE Centre from July 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025.

During his stay, Markos will work on a project titled Levin-Cochran-Lee inequalities on metric measure spaces, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Michael Ruzhansky. This project aims to make new discoveries in mathematics and is a great opportunity for Markos to build his research skills and experience.

This visit is also about more than just research. It’s a chance for both Addis Ababa University and Ghent University to connect, exchange ideas, and build a stronger relationship that could lead to more collaboration in the future.

Once again, congratulations to Markos on this fantastic achievement!

This is the third IMU-Simons Fellowship that our Ghent Analysis & PDE Center obtained, the previous visitors were Abimbola Abolarinwa from Nigeria, and Narciso Gomes from Capo Verde.

Joint lecture topic: Analysis of a Class of Degenerating Operators and Their Spectra: Multiscale-type Approximations

Abstract

Homogenization theory establishes that uniformly elliptic operators with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients have operators with constant coefficients as their appropriate limits. One approach is based on applying a (scaled) Floquet-Bloch-Gelfand transform to the resolvent problem in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and then constructing uniform approximations near a singular point of the quasi-periodicity parameter. This becomes much more subtle if the coefficients are asymptotically degenerating, and the limit operator appears to be a “two-scale” one with a band-gap limit spectrum. There are diverse examples of PDE and other models displaying similar features. In this minicourse, based on [1], we review the background and introduce an abstract scheme allowing to construct such approximations for a wide class of asymptotically degenerating operators and their spectra. This is accompanied by error bounds, and illustrated this by various examples. In particular, a key example of high-contrast PDE models displays surprising links to signal processing via a novel $L^2$-isometric two-scale interpolation operator of Whittaker-Shannon type.
