Luis Enrique Silvestre (born May 14, 1977, in La Plata, Argentina) is an Argentinian mathematician specializing in partial differential equations. He is a professor at the University of Chicago.
Early Life and Education
Silvestre earned his Licenciado en Matemática from the Universidad Nacional de La Plata in December 2000. He then pursued his Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin, completing it in May 2005 under the supervision of Luis Caffarelli. His dissertation focused on the regularity of the obstacle problem for a fractional power of the Laplace operator. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Career
