Giuseppe Da Prato is Emeritus Professor at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. His research activity concerns: stochastic analysis, evolution equations both deterministic and stochastic, elliptic and parabolic equations with infinitely many variables, deterministic and stochastic control. On these subjects he has produced more than 350 papers in reviewed journals and eight books.
