Principal investigator

Martin Lazar is professor at the University of Dubrovnik. His research interests are related to:

  • Control theory: Control of parameter dependent systems (greedy control, averaged control), optimal control of parabolic problems
  • Microlocal analysis: PDEs and homogenisation, velocity averaging, microlocal defect functionals (1-scale H-measures, semiclassical measures, H-distributions)
  • Geophysical fluid dynamics: analytical modelling in oceanography
