MSU graduate featured in AMS publication
Leonardo Abbrescia, a 2020 graduate of Michigan State University with a Ph.D. in mathematics, is a co-author of an article featured in the lastest edition of Notices of the American Mathematical Society.
The journal only publishes one feature article per issue, focusing on high-quality research in mathematics.
In 1757, Euler formulated the compressible Euler equations, which model the motion of a compressible fluid without viscosity. While much has been understood about these fluids in the idealized setting of 1𝐷 (one spatial dimension), much less is known about 3𝐷 fluids, the main subject of the article.
The article, "The Geometry of Maximal Globally Hyperbolic Developments for 3D Compressible Fluids Terminating in Shocks," was authored by Abbrescia, currently an assistant professor of mathematics at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Jared Speck of Vanderbilt University.
While at MSU, Abbrescia was under the advisement of Willie Wong, associate professor of mathematics.
