Three professors, who are top experts in PDE and applications in the US, will teach three summer courses. The three courses will run from 22/7/2024 to 26/7/2024. Each course will have about 4 lectures of one hour each. Here is a tentative list of the three lecturers (to be confirmed).
1. Suzanne Lenhart (UTK):

Suzanne Lenhart is a Chancellor's Professor of Mathematics and Cox Professor at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Dr. Lenhart was AWM/MAA Falconer Lecturer in 1997, and AWM/SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecturer in 2010 in recognition of her significant research in partial differential equations, ordinary differential equations, and optimal control. She was elected as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2010 and became a SIAM Fellow in 2011. In 2013, she was selected as a fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) in the inaugural class. In 2017, she was selected as a fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics in the inaugural class. Very recently, Dr. Lenhart just delivered the AMS Josiah Willard Gibbs Lecture at the Joint Math Meeting 2024.
