Research Interests: Andrea Nahmod's research centers on the deep connections between Nonlinear Fourier Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations. Her work integrates tools from geometry, gauge theory, and probability to study the behavior of solutions to nonlinear dispersive equations arising in physics and geometry. She investigates both deterministic and probabilistic aspects of these equations and develops advanced analytical techniques such as wave-packet analysis and multilinear singular pseudodifferential operators.

Her research is supported by prestigious grants from the National Science Foundation and the Simons Foundation. She is a co-leader of the Simons Collaboration on Wave Turbulence and has organized major research programs at MSRI/SLMath and ICERM, including the 2015 MSRI program New Challenges in PDE and the 2019 ICERM semester program on Hamiltonian Methods in Dispersive and Wave Evolution Equations. She is also organizing the upcoming Fall 2025 SLMath/MSRI program on Recent Trends in Stochastic Partial Differential Equations.

While specific recent publications are not listed in the provided text, her research output consistently contributes to high-level mathematical theory in analysis and PDE, with a growing emphasis on probabilistic and stochastic methods in infinite-dimensional systems.

Scientific Awards and Recognition:

• Research funding from the National Science Foundation
• Simons Foundation Collaboration Grant
• Invited organizer for major research programs at MSRI/SLMath, ICERM, and UMass

Advising and Academic Leadership: Nahmod has supervised eight PhD students, all working in areas related to nonlinear dispersive PDEs and wave equations. She is also involved in mentoring undergraduate researchers through REU and Capstone projects. She is a founding member of the CNS Women's Caucus at UMass Amherst, where she advocates for gender equity and inclusion in STEM. The Caucus focuses on best practices in hiring, promotion, and salary equity, and provides support structures for women and minority faculty.

Laboratories and Research Teams: While not a lab-based scientist, Nahmod leads and participates in collaborative research teams, most notably the Simons Collaboration on Wave Turbulence, which brings together mathematicians from across the U.S. and internationally to advance the theory of wave dynamics in nonlinear systems.
