UCLA Mathematics Professor Monica Visan has been selected to deliver the 45th Emmy Noether Lecture at the Joint Mathematics Meetings held in Washington, D.C. from January 4–7, 2026. This distinguished lecture was established in 1980 by the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) to honor the extraordinary contributions of women in the field of mathematical sciences.
“Visan is a leading figure in the field of nonlinear dispersive equations, having made significant contributions to the well-posedness theory of critical dispersive equations, the study of dispersive equations on domains with boundaries, and the construction of invariant measures for several key models. In collaboration with Rowan Killip, she introduced the method of commuting flows (Annals of Math. (2) 190 (2019)), which has led to important breakthroughs in the analysis of integrable dispersive models, including the Korteweg-de Vries equation.”
