Maria Colombo (born 25 May 1989)[1] is an Italian mathematician specializing in mathematical analysis. She is a professor at the EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in Switzerland, where she holds the chair for mathematical analysis, calculus of variations and partial differential equations.[2][3]
Education and career
Colombo was born in Luino, near the Swiss border of Italy.[1][4] She competed for Italy in the 2005, 2006, and 2007 International Mathematical Olympiads, earning bronze, gold, and silver medals respectively.[5]
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][6] 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.[7]
After postdoctoral research with Camillo De Lellis at the University of Zurich, she joined the EPFL as an assistant professor in 2018,[1] and was promoted to full professor in 2021.[3]
Recognition
The Accademia dei Lincei gave Colombo their Gioacchino Iapichino Prize for 2016.[4][8] She was the 2017 winner of the Carlo Miranda Prize of the National Society of Sciences, Letters and Arts of Naples ,[4][9] and the 2019 winner of the Bartolozzi Prize of the Italian Mathematical Union.[10] She has been announced as the 2022 winner of the biennial Peter Lax Award, to be given at the International Conference on Hyperbolic Problems.[11]
