Lisa Fauci

Lisa J. Fauci (born September 21, 1960) is an American mathematician who applies computational fluid dynamics to biological processes such as sperm motility and phytoplankton dynamics.[1] More generally, her research interests include numerical analysis, scientific computing, and mathematical biology. She is the Pendergraft Nola Lee Haynes Professor of Mathematics at Tulane University,[2] and was president of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (2019–2020).[3]

Education

Fauci was born in Brooklyn, New York.[4] She did her undergraduate studies at Pace University, where she was encouraged to continue in mathematics by her mentor there, Michael Bernkopf.[5] After earning a B.S. in mathematics in 1981,[6] she went on to graduate studies at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University, completing a master's degree in 1984 and her doctorate in 1986, under the supervision of Charles S. Peskin.[6][7]

Career

Fauci has been at Tulane University since 1986.[4][6]

Recognition

In 2012 Fauci became a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics "for contributions to computational biofluid dynamics and applications."[8] From 2014 to 2016, Fauci served as a Council Member at Large for the American Mathematical Society.[9] In 2016 she was selected as the annual Sonia Kovalevsky Lecturer by the Association for Women in Mathematics.[10] In 2018, she became a Fellow of the American Physical Society.[11]

In 2019 Fauci was elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science[12] (AAAS). She was elected as a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in the 2020 Class, for "contributions to computational fluid dynamics and applications, and for service to the applied mathematical community".[13]

Fauci was elected to the 2023 class of fellows of the Association for Women in Mathematics "for her vision of advancing women in the mathematical sciences; for executing that vision by encouraging women to pursue graduate studies and providing sustained mentorship throughout their careers; and for opening pathways for the broader inclusion of women through her leadership in international organizations such as SIAM."[14] She was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2023.[15] In November 2023, Fauci was a Tulane 2023 Hall of Fame winner.
