Nominator's project description

Juan Velazquez is an internationally highly recognized analyst and exceptional applied mathematician. He has substantially contributed to an impressive variety of fundamental problems in mathematics with applications to physics and biology such as growth of solid bodies in liquids, nucleation, crack formation, kinetic models for plasmas, and chemotaxis. Together with scientists in Berlin and Leipzig he aims to develop a consistent theory for coarsening processes in materials (Ostwald ripening), classify certain self-interacting stochastic processes with long time memory, and analyze models for structure formation and self-organization in biology.
