Irene M. Gamba

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Irene Martinez Gamba (* 1957 ) is an Argentine-American mathematician and professor at the University of Texas at Austin .

Irene Gamba graduated from the University of Buenos Aires with a degree in mathematics in 1981 and from the University of Chicago with a master's degree in 1985. She received her doctorate in 1989 from the University of Chicago under Jim Douglas junior ( Asymptotic Behavior at the Boundary of a Semiconductor Device in Two Space Dimensions ). As a post-doctoral student , she was at Purdue University , the College of New Jersey (Assistant Professor 1991/92) and the Courant Institute , where she was with Cathleen Synge Morawetz and became Assistant Professor in 1994 and Associate Professor in 1996. From 1997 she was a professor at the University of Texas at Austin. There she is at the ICES (Institute for Computational Engineering and Science) and Center for Numerical Analysis and group leader in the Department of Applied Mathematics (since 2007).

From 2007 to 2013 she was Joe B. and Louise Cook Professor in Mathematics at the University of Texas, 2013/14 John T. Stuart III Centennial Professor and since 2014 she has been WA Tex Moncreif, Jr. Professor in Computational Engineering and Sciences III .

It deals with numerical and applied analysis, mathematical and statistical physics and nonlinear kinetic equations and partial differential equations and integro-differential equations (modeling of statistical flows).

The applications she deals with include kinetic models for swarms of particles in social dynamics (interacting social systems), the Boltzmann equation and various meso- and macroscopic approximations in hydrodynamics and gas dynamics. In addition, applications in plasma physics, on granular flows and transient and fast dynamics in semiconductors such as in the modeling of solar cells. She developed deterministic numerical models for kinetic flows and dealt with conservative spectral methods , discontinuous Galerkin methods and weighted essentially non-oscillatory methods (WENO, weighted essentially non-oscillatory) for non-linear collision flows.

She is on the editorial board of the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society (2016).

She is an Argentinian and a US citizen.

In 2013 she became a Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, has been a SIAM Fellow since 2012 and a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society since 2013 . In 2014 she gave the Sofia Kovalevsky Lecture of the Association for Women in Mathematics.
