She has held various leadership positions including Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences (2009-2012), President of the Master Degree Course in Environmental Protection Sciences (2012), and Deputy Rector for Internationalization (2017-2019).
- Born in Catania on June 18, 1966
- Graduated in Mathematics Magna cum Laude on July 12, 1988
- Assistant Professor of Mathematical Analysis since 1992
- Associate Professor since January 2000
- Full Professor since October 2017
- PhD in Mathematics from Luleå University (Sweden) in 2012
Professor RAGUSA's research focuses on existence, uniqueness and regularity results for solutions of linear and quasilinear partial differential equations of elliptic, parabolic and ultraparabolic types. She has made significant contributions to the study of regularity of local minimizers of variational integrals and the obstacle problem. Her work intersects with nonlinear analysis, mathematical physics, and applied mathematics, with applications in various scientific domains.
With over 130 publications primarily in Q1 journals, Professor RAGUSA has established herself as a leading researcher in mathematical analysis. Her publication record shows consistent high-impact contributions to the field with a focus on theoretical foundations and their applications.
