Irene Fonseca

Irene Maria Quintanilha Coelho da Fonseca is a Portuguese-American applied mathematician, the Kavčić-Moura University Professor of Mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University, where she directs the Center for Nonlinear Analysis, which is part of the Mellon College of Science's Department of Mathematical Sciences.[1][2]

Professional career

Fonseca was born in Portugal, and did her undergraduate studies at the University of Lisbon.[3] She earned a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1985, under the supervision of David Kinderlehrer, who later followed his student to CMU.[4] She joined the CMU faculty after postdoctoral studies in Paris, France.[3]

In 2011, Fonseca was elected president of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics,[3] serving in office from 2013 to 2014.[5] She also served on the Mathematical Sciences jury for the Infosys Prize in 2014 and 2015. Furthermore, she is currently serving as the Chair of SIAM's Activity Group on Mathematical Aspects of Materials Science, with the term lasting until December 31, 2024.[6]

In addition, Fonseca was elected to serve as a Vice President of the American Mathematical Society for a three-year term, beginning in February 2024.[7]
