Education and career

Lunardi was educated at the University of Pisa, completing her undergraduate studies there in 1980 and earning a Ph.D. there in 1983. [2] Her dissertation, Analyticity of the maximal solution to fully nonlinear equations in Banach spaces, was supervised by Giuseppe Da Prato. [4]

After continuing on at Pisa as a researcher from 1984 to 1987, she was hired as a full professor at the University of Cagliari in 1987, and moved to Parma in 1994. [2]

Contributions

Lunardi is the author of Analytic semigroups and optimal regularity in parabolic problems (Birkhäuser, 1995, reprinted 2013) [5] and of Interpolation theory (Edizioni della Normale, 1998, 3rd ed., 2018). [6] With G. Da Prato, P. C. Kunstmann, I. Lasiecka, R. Schnaubelt, and L. Weis, she is a co-author of Functional Analytic Methods for Evolution Equations (Springer, 2004).

Lunardi is one of six editors-in-chief of the journal Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications (NoDEA). [7] She also served as editor-in-chief of Rivista di Matematica della Università di Parma for Series 7 of the journal, from 2002 to 2008. [8]

Recognition

In 1987, Lunardi won the Bartolozzi Prize of the Italian Mathematical Union. [2] In 2017, she won the Lucio & Wanda Amerio Gold Medal Prize  [ it ] of the Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere. [9]
