We're thoroughly enjoying these descriptions and illustrations of Alessio Figalli's career and work on optimal mass transport, presented by Francesco Maggi. Learned anything new? Let us know! #FieldsMedalSymposium












This morning, a great session at @ESOF_eu with the mathematician, Fields Medalist @AFigalli from @ETH. He explained the very wide range of applications of the concept of optimal transport -- crystallography, meteorology, economics, imaging, artificial intelligence etc.
