Michela Procesi (born 1973) is an Italian mathematician specializing in Hamiltonian partial differential equations such as the nonlinear Schrödinger equation or wave equation. The Degasperis–Procesi equation is named for her.[1] She is a professor of mathematics at Roma Tre University.

Education and career

edit

Procesi was born in 1973 in Rome,[2][3] the daughter of mathematician Claudio Procesi.[3] She earned a laurea in physics at the Sapienza University of Rome in 1998, and continued at la Sapienza for a PhD in mathematics in 2002.[2] Her dissertation, Estimates on Hamiltonian splittings: tree techniques in the theory of homoclinic splitting and Arnold diffusion for a-priori stable systems, was supervised by Luigi Chierchia.[4]

She became a postdoctoral researcher at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste and, with the support of the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica Francesco Severi, at Roma Tre University.[5] After continued work as a researcher at the University of Naples Federico II and la Sapienza, she obtained a position as an associate professor at Roma Tre University in 2015. She has been a full professor there since 2019.[2]

Recognition

edit

Procesi was an invited speaker at the 2022 (virtual) International Congress of Mathematicians.[6]
