Associate Professor
Ph.D., Case Western Reserve University — Differential Geometry and Global Analysis
Linnér’s research lies at the intersection of differential geometry, global analysis and the calculus of variations, focusing on periodic extremals — curves and surfaces arising as critical points of geometric energy functionals — and the gradient flow methods used to find them. His work draws on Sobolev space theory, Riemannian geometry, tensor analysis and optimal control, with connections to approximation theory and numerical analysis. He has published in the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry, the Journal of Approximation Theory and Communications in Mathematical Physics, and is developing More Modern Differential Geometry, a Mathematica package bringing new computational tools to the field.
