Andrea Nahmod

Andrea Nahmod is a Provost Professor and Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Yale University (1991) and an MSci. from the University of Buenos Aires (1985).

Professor Nahmod's research lies at the intersection of Nonlinear Fourier Analysis/Harmonic Analysis and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations, integrating tools from geometry, gauge theory and probability. Her work focuses on (i) the behavior of solutions to nonlinear dispersive equations arising as models in Physics and Geometry from deterministic and probabilistic viewpoints, and (ii) wave-packet analysis techniques and multilinear singular pseudodifferential operators.

Her research has been partially funded by the National Science Foundation and the Simons Foundation. She is currently organizing a Fall 2025 Semester Program at SLMath/MSRI on "Recent Trends in Stochastic Partial Differential Equations" and has been involved in significant research programs including an ICERM Semester Program on "Hamiltonian Methods in Dispersive and Wave Evolution Equations" and the Simons Collaboration on Wave Turbulence.

Professor Nahmod has received recognition for her award-winning teaching and has advised eight doctoral students to completion including Nikolaos Tzirakis (2004), Tadahiro Oh (2007), Viktor Grigoryan (2008), Allison Tanguay (2012), Haitian Yue (2018), Xueying Yu (2018), Michael Boratko (2018), and Dean Katsaros (2024), whose research primarily focuses on nonlinear dispersive PDEs, geometric nonlinear PDEs, and nonlinear wave equations.

She has also mentored numerous undergraduate researchers through REU and Capstone projects on topics including Fourier analysis, wavelet theory, signal recognition, geometry, combinatorics, and harmonic analysis, demonstrating her commitment to developing the next generation of mathematicians.
