Nalini Joshi
Nalini Joshi (born before 1981 in Burma ) is an Australian mathematician who studies partial differential equations.
Joshi studied at the University of Sydney with a bachelor's degree in 1981 and at Princeton University with a master's degree in 1984 and a doctorate with Martin Kruskal in 1986 (The Connection Problem for the First and Second Painleve Transcendents). As a post-doctoral student she was at the Australian National University , where she became a lecturer in 1988 . In 1990 she became a Lecturer and in 1994 Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales and in 1998 Associate Professor (Reader) at the University of Adelaide . In 2002 she became Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Sydney. From 2006 to 2013 she was director of the Center for Mathematical Biology and from 2007 to 2009 she headed the School of Mathematics and Physics.
It deals with integrable nonlinear partial differential equations (and difference equations), especially Painlevé's equations .
In 2008 she became a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Sciences . From 2008 to 2010 she was President of the Australian Mathematical Society . In 2015 she was a Hardy Fellow of the London Mathematical Society .
