Andrea Bertozzi became a member of what organization or association in 2018?
Andrea Bertozzi Andrea Louise Bertozzi ( born 1965 ) is an American mathematician . Her research interests are in non-linear partial differential equations and applied mathematics . Education and career . She earned her bachelors and masters degrees from Princeton University , followed by her PhD from Princeton in 1991 ; her dissertation was titled Existence , Uniqueness , and a Characterization of Solutions to the Contour Dynamics Equation . Prior to joining UCLA in 2003 , Bertozzi was an L . E . Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago , and then Professor of Mathematics and Physics at Duke University . She spent one year at Argonne National Laboratory as the Maria Goeppert-Mayer Distinguished Scholar . She is a member of the faculty of the University of California , Los Angeles , as a Professor of Mathematics ( since 2003 ) and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering ( since 2018 ) and Director of Applied Mathematics ( since 2005 ) . She is a member of the California NanoSystems Institute . Contributions . Bertozzi has contributed to many areas of applied mathematics including the theory of swarming behavior , aggregation equations and their solution in general dimension , the theory of particle-laden flows in liquids with free surfaces , data analysis/image analysis at the micro and nano scales , and the mathematics of crime . Her earlier fundamental work in fluids led to novel applications in image processing , most notably image inpainting , swarming models , and data clustering on graphs . Bertozzi coauthored the book Vorticity and Incompressible Flow , which was published in 2000 and remains one of her most cited works . Bertozzi now has over 200 publications on Web of Science , covering a range of topics including fluid dynamics , image processing , social sciences , and cooperative motion . Bertozzis publications include over 100 collaborators in a wide range of disciplines including Mathematics , Applied Mathematics , Statistics , Computer Science , Chemistry , Physics , Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering , Medicine , Anthropology , Economics , Politics , and Criminology . Between 2010 and 2020 Bertozzi has been granted multiple patents related to her research , which center on image inpainting , data fusion mapping estimation , and most recently on determining fluid reservoir connectivity using nanowire probes . Bertozzi has developed numerous novel mathematical theories throughout her career . While a Dickson Instructor at Univ . of Chicago , she developed the mathematical theory of thin film equations , fourth order degenerate parabolic equations that are used to describe lubrication theory for coating flows . She has also worked with Jeffrey Brantingham and other colleagues to apply mathematics to the patterns of urban crime , research which was the cover feature in the March 2 , 2010 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences . Bertozzi also spoke about the mathematics of crime at the 2010 annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science . Since 2017 , Bertozzi has been developing new mathematics related to microfluidic technologies as part of her Simons Math + X investigator program joint with UCLAs Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the California NanoSystems Institute . That work includes the theory of transient growth for linear stability of driven contact lines and the theory of undercompressive shocks in driven films with nonconvex fluxes . In 2020 , she applied these ideas to discover a new class of undercompressive shock solutions in the tears of wine problem . Bertozzi has also published academic works regarding the 2020 pandemic , the most significant of which is an article on the difficulties of forecasting the spread of Covid-19 . She has continued making contributions to the scientific community throughout the pandemic , including a talk on epidemic modeling and a study on the increase in domestic violence reports during stay-at-home restrictions . Personal life . She is the older sister of the chemist Carolyn Bertozzi . Her father , William Bertozzi , was a professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . Recognition . In 1995 Bertozzi received a research fellowship from the Sloan Foundation . In 1996 she received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers from the U.S . Office of Naval Research . She was also awarded the 2009 Association for Women in Mathematics-Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Sonia Kovalevsky Lecture , and was elected a Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Fellow in 2010 . In 2010 she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences . In 2012 she became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society . In 2013 she was named the Betsy Wood Knapp Chair for Innovation and Creativity at UCLA . In 2014 she won a SIAM Outstanding Paper Prize ( joint with Arjuna Flenner ) . In 2016 she became a Fellow of the American Physical Society . In 2015 and 2016 she was named a Thomson-Reuters/Clarivate Analytics highly cited researcher . In 2017 she became a Simons Investigator . In 2018 she was elected to the US National Academy of Sciences . In 2019 she was awarded SIAMs Kleinman Prize . Cancellation of Noether Lecture . In June 2020 , it was announced that Bertozzi was invited to give the Noether Lecture at the 2021 Joint Mathematics Meetings . Her selection as lecturer came under scrutiny because of her work in the controversial area of predictive policing . The timing of the announcement , during the George Floyd protests against police brutality , was criticized on social media as offensive . Bertozzi came to a mutual decision with the sponsors of the event ( the Association for Women in Mathematics and the American Mathematical Society ) to cancel the lecture .
