Biography:Luz de Teresa
María de la Luz (Lucero) Jimena de Teresa de Oteyza (born 1965) is a Mexican and Spanish mathematician specializing in the control theory of parabolic partial differential equations. She is a researcher in the Institute of Mathematics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM),[1] and a former president of the Mexican Mathematical Society.
Education and career
De Teresa was born in Mexico City on 14 June 1965; and is a citizen of both Mexico and Spain.[2] Her father was a physicist who encouraged her to do what made her happiest; she decided that not having integrals in her life would be a horrible absence.[3][4]
She became an undergraduate at UNAM, graduating in 1990. Next, she studied applied mathematics at the Complutense University of Madrid, completing her PhD in 1995.[2] Her dissertation, Control de algunas ecuaciones de la Física-Matemática: Ecuación de ondas, del calor y sistema de la termoelasticidad, was supervised by Enrique Zuazua.[5]
She has been a researcher in the Institute of Mathematics at UNAM since 1995, and was president of the Mexican Mathematical Society for the 2018–2020 term.[3][4] In 2020 she was named to the governing board of UNAM's university council.[6]
Recognition
De Teresa was elected to the Mexican Academy of Sciences in 2011.[2][3][7] She was named an honorary member of the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society in 2018.[6]
UNAM gave her their Reconocimiento Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz award in 2009.[2]
