World-Renowned Mathematician Joins Faculty

Umberto Mosco, one of Europe’s highly regarded mathematicians, joined WPI in January as the new Harold J. Gay Professor in the Mathematical Sciences Department. Mosco has been at the forefront of mathematical research in nonlinear analysis for the past 40 years, focusing on partial differential equations, convex analysis, optimal control, and variational calculus. He is a member of the Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze detta dei XL and has been honored with some of Europe’s most prestigious honors, including the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Research Award and the Antonio Feltrinelli Award for Mathematics, Mechanics, and Applications from the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. In 2004, he was invited to deliver the Marconi Lecture at the Royal Swedish Academy.
