FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Loredana Lanzani of the department of mathematical sciences in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences has won a $125,000 individual research grant from the National Science Foundation to support her ongoing research in harmonic analysis and several complex variables. This grant is a continuation of a research program that has been continuously supported by the NSF since 2001.

In her field, the NSF funds only about 20 applications nationwide of the roughly 100 grants submitted each year.

Lanzani and her collaborators will explore a number of fundamental questions in the area of several complex variables and partial differential equations. Lanzani will develop new techniques that hinge upon an interplay of complex analysis and harmonic analysis.

Several complex variables, harmonic analysis and partial differential equations are major branches of mathematics. They are of paramount importance in pure and applied sciences and have vastly contributed to our present-day understanding of such basic phenomena as heat transfer and celestial mechanics.
