Susanna Terracini

Susanna Terracini is an Italian mathematician known for her research on chaos in Hamiltonian dynamical systems, including the n-body problem, reaction–diffusion systems, and the Schrödinger equation.
Terracini was born in South London. She earned a laurea in 1986 in mathematics at the University of Turin, supervised by Fulvia Skof.
She completed her Ph.D. at the International School for [Advanced Studies] in 1990. Her dissertation, Periodic Solutions to Singular Newtonian Systems, was supervised by Ivar Ekeland and Sergio Solimini.
She was a researcher at Paris Dauphine University from 1988 to 1989, and became a faculty member at the Polytechnic [University of Milan] in 1990. In 2001 she became a full professor at the University of Milano-Bicocca, and in 2012 she returned to Turin as a professor.
One of Terracini's papers on the n-body problem was selected for a featured review in Mathematical Reviews.
She was the winner of the 2002 Vinti Prize, a prize of the Italian Mathematical Union for young researchers in mathematical analysis. In 2007 she won the Bruno Finzi Prize of the Istituto [Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere].
In 2020 she was awarded the Schauder Medal from the Juliusz P. Schauder Center for Nonlinear Studies at the Nicolaus [Copernicus University in Toruń], Poland.
