Daniela De Silva

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniela De Silva is an Italian mathematician known for her expertise in partial differential equations.[1][2] She is an associate professor of mathematics at Barnard College and Columbia University.

Education and career[]

De Silva did her undergraduate studies in mathematics at the University of Naples Federico II, and earned a bachelor's degree there in 1997.[3] She completed her doctorate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2005. Her dissertation, Existence and Regularity of Monotone Solutions to a Free Boundary Problem, was supervised by David Jerison.[3][4]

After postdoctoral research at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute and a term as J. J. Sylvester Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University, she joined the Barnard and Columbia faculty in 2007.[3]

Recognition[]

De Silva won the 2016 Sadosky Prize of the Association for Women in Mathematics for "fundamental contributions to the regularity theory of nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations and non-local integro-differential equations".[2] In 2018, Barnard honored her with their Tow Professorship for Distinguished Scholars and Practitioners.[5]
