Alfonso Sorrentino (Rome, 27 November 1979) is an Italian mathematician, currently full professor of Mathematical analysis at University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy).[1][2][3][4]

His main scientific interests are in the field of dynamical systems, specifically, in the study of Hamiltonian dynamical systems by means of variational methods (Aubry-Mather theory), partial differential equations techniques (weak KAM theory and Hamilton-Jacobi equation) and geometric approaches (symplectic geometry and topology).[5][6][7]
