Sergio Vessella was born on August 20 1955. He graduated from Pisa University in 1978. He held a CNR grant (1979--1982) and served as a CNR Researcher (1982--1988). He became Associate Professor in 1988 and in 2001 he was promoted Full Professor. His research focuses on Inverse Problems (IP) for Partial Differetial Equations (PDEs) and Quantitative Estimates of Unique Continuation for PDEs. He co-authored Abel Integral Equations with Prof. R. Gorenflo (Springer LNM, 1991). His work spans IP for Elliptic, Parabolic, and Hyperbolic equation, size estimates in inclusion problems, Lipschitz dependence of coefficients, and Strong Unique Continuation Properties for PDEs. Prof. Vessella has collaborated with leading mathematicians, including Profs. G. Alessandrini, M. De Hoop, and L. Escauriaza. He has served as visiting professor in Berlin, Linz, Rutgers, and others insitutions. He has organized symposia (e.g., IFIP-2005, Turin) and courses (e.g., Firenze, 2006) and has been an invited speaker at international conferences (e.g., Oberwolfach, Potsdam, IPMS-Malta 2024).
