Maria Colombo (mathematician)

Maria Colombo (born 25 May 1989)[1] is an Italian mathematician specializing in mathematical analysis. She is an assistant professor at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland, where she holds the chair for mathematical analysis, calculus of variations and partial differential equations.[2]

Education and career

Colombo was born in Luino, near the Swiss border of Italy.[1][3] She competed for Italy in the 2005, 2006, and 2007 International Mathematical Olympiads, earning bronze, gold, and silver medals respectively.[4]

She earned bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics at the University of Pisa in 2010 and 2011,[1] and completed a Ph.D. in 2015 at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, under the joint supervision of Luigi Ambrosio and Alessio Figalli.[1][5] Her dissertation, Flows of non-smooth vector fields and degenerate elliptic equations: With applications to the Vlasov-Poisson and semigeostrophic systems, was published as a book in 2017 by Edizioni della Normale.[6]

After postdoctoral research with Camillo De Lellis at the University of Zurich, she joined the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne as an assistant professor in 2018.[1]

Recognition

The Accademia dei Lincei gave Colombo their Gioacchino Iapichino Prize for 2016.[3][7] She was the 2017 winner of the Carlo Miranda Prize of the National Society of Sciences, Letters and Arts of Naples,[3][8] and the 2019 winner of the Bartolozzi Prize of the Italian Mathematical Union.[9]
