Monica Vișan

Monica Vișan (born August 5, 1979, in Drobeta-Turnu Severin, Romania) is a Romanian mathematician at the University of California, Los Angeles who specializes in partial differential equations and is well known for her work on the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

Education and career

Vișan earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Bucharest in 2002. She became a student of Terence Tao at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she completed her doctorate in 2006. Her dissertation was The Defocusing Energy-Critical Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation in Dimensions Five and Higher.

After postdoctoral research at the Institute for Advanced Study, Vișan became an assistant professor in the mathematics department at the University of Chicago in 2008. She returned to UCLA as a faculty member in 2009 and (keeping her appointment at UCLA) spent 2010–2011 as Harrington Faculty Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin.

Recognition

Vișan won a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2010. She was elected as a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in the 2024 class of fellows.

Selected publications

With Herbert Koch and Daniel Tătaru, Vișan is the author of the book Dispersive Equations and Nonlinear Waves: Generalized Korteweg–de Vries, Nonlinear Schrödinger, Wave and Schrödinger Maps (Birkhäuser/Springer, 2014).
