Scientific Research Interests:

Semilinear and quasilinear elliptic equations. Qualitative properties of the solutions: regularity, symmetry, monotonicity and antisymmetry, stability and Morse index, level sets analysis and problems regarding a famous conjecture by De Giorgi. Existence of the solutions and  Liouville type  theorems.
Particular interest is devoted to problems dealing with the  p-Laplacian operator or classes of more general  degenerate nonlinear operators.
