Gabriele Benedetti is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His research focuses on areas such as Differential Geometry, Dynamical Systems, and Calculus of Variations. He investigates the relationships between Symplectic Geometry and Hamiltonian Systems, particularly how periodic orbits in Hamiltonian systems yield geometric invariants like symplectic capacities and symplectic homology. Benedetti applies symplectic tools to understand concrete Hamiltonian systems arising from physics, notably in the motion of charged particles in magnetic fields. He is a member of the Center for Topology Applications and is actively involved in supervising Bachelor's and Master's projects that deal with topics such as the illumination blocking problem in polygonal billiards and Bertrand's Theorem regarding central forces. Benedetti is also enthusiastic about welcoming new students and suggesting further project topics.
Administered under the Department of Clinical Psychology for Master's in Clinical and Developmental Psychopathology.
