Two Italians win the mathematics "Oscar": between innovation and passion

Cristiana De Filippis and Maria Colombo are the two exceptional Italian mathematicians who won the coveted prize from the European Mathematical Society (EMS). The prize is considered the real one Mathematics Oscar. The award, worth 5 thousand euros, often a precursor to the Fields medal, was awarded in Seville during the European Mathematics Congress, ongoing until 19 July.

The two Italians and the mathematics Oscar

Cristiana De Filippis, 31 years old, originally from Matera and professor at the University of Parma, was awarded for her exceptional contributions to the Theory of Elliptic Regularity. Her career is full of successes, including the G-Research Prize from Oxford and the Iapichino Prize from the Accademia dei Lincei.

Considered one of 100 successful Italian women of 2023 according to Forbes, De Filippis is also one of the most cited mathematicians of her generation. Furthermore, De Filippis has developed innovative techniques to study the regularity of the solutions of differential equations.

Maria Colombo, 35, just gave birth to her fourth child and was unable to collect the prize in person.

Colombo teaches at Lausanne Polytechnic. His research focuses on incompressible fluid dynamics, transport equations and the calculus of variations, areas in which he has made innovative and highly relevant contributions.

The future of Italian mathematics

With the company European Mathematics Congress of 2028 to be held in Bologna, Italy continues to demonstrate its central role in the international mathematics community.

The Italians Oscar Mathematics, De Filippis and Colombo are a clear testimony to the excellence andItalian innovation in the field of mathematics, predicting a promising future for the next generations of researchers.
