Professor Maria Colombo, head of the chair of Mathematical Analysis, Calculus of Variations and PDEs (AMCV) at EPFL has been awarded the 2023 ICIAM Collatz Prize.

The International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) is a society that promotes scientific work in applied mathematics all around the world.

Every four years since 1987 they organize a Congress during which they award special prizes. The ICIAM Collatz prize was started in 1999 upon the initiative of the Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM) to provide international recognition for scientists under 42 years of age for outstanding work on industrial and applied mathematics.

Professor Maria Colombo, head of the chair AMCV has been awarded the 2023 ICIAM Collatz prize in recognition of her fundamental contributions to the regularity theory and the analysis of singularities in elliptic PDEs, geometric variational problems, transport equations, and incompressible fluid dynamics. She will give a presentation about her work during the upcoming ICIAM Congress in August 2023 in Tokyo.
