Alessandra Lunardi

Alessandra Lunardi (born 1958)[1] is an Italian mathematician specializing in mathematical analysis. She is a professor in the department of mathematics and computer science at the University of Parma.[2] She is particularly interested in Kolmogorov equations and free boundary problems.[3]

Education and career

Lunardi was educated at the University of Pisa, completing her undergraduate studies there in 1980 and earning a Ph.D. there in 1983.[2] Her dissertation, Analyticity of the maximal solution to fully nonlinear equations in Banach spaces, was supervised by Giuseppe Da Prato.[4]

After continuing on at Pisa as a researcher from 1984 to 1987, she was hired as a full professor at the University of Cagliari in 1987, and moved to Parma in 1994.[2]

Contributions

Lunardi is the author of Analytic semigroups and optimal regularity in parabolic problems (Birkhäuser, 1995, reprinted 2013)[5] and of Interpolation theory (Edizioni della Normale, 1998, 3rd ed., 2018).[6] With G. Da Prato, P. C. Kunstmann, I. Lasiecka, R. Schnaubelt, and L. Weis, she is a co-author of Functional Analytic Methods for Evolution Equations (Springer, 2004).

Lunardi is one of six editors-in-chief of the journal Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications (NoDEA).[7] She also served as editor-in-chief of Rivista di Matematica della Università di Parma for Series 7 of the journal, from 2002 to 2008.[8]

Recognition

In 1987, Lunardi won the Bartolozzi Prize of the Italian Mathematical Union.[2] In 2017, she won the Lucio & Wanda Amerio Gold Medal Prize [it] of the Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere.[9]
