Izabella Åaba
Izabella Laba (born 1966 ) is a Polish- Canadian mathematician. She is a professor at the University of British Columbia.
Laba studied from 1981 at the University of Breslau ( diploma in 1986 at P. Biler ) and from 1989 at the University of Toronto, where she received her doctorate in Israel Michael Sigal, 1994 ( N- particle scattering in a constant magnetic field ). From 1994 she was a Hedrick Assistant Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, and in 1997 assistant professor at Princeton University. In 2000, she was Associate Professor and in 2005 Professor at the University of British Columbia.
She was a visiting scholar at the Fields Institute ( 2008), the Pennsylvania State University and the University of Missouri.
It deals with harmonic analysis, geometric measure theory, additive combinatorics, mathematical physics and partial differential equations. With Christian Gérard she proved the asymptotic completeness for a large class of N-body systems in external magnetic fields. With Nets Katz and Terence Tao gave the previously best results for the lower limits of the Minkowski dimension of Besicovich levels (associated with Kakeya 's needle problem) in three-dimensional Euclidean spaces ( according to the conjecture of Kakeya have Besicovich amounts of at least Hausdorff dimension n in the n-dimensional Euclidean space ). Other important results they achieved on translational tilings ( translational tiling ) and Distance amounts ( under the assumption of Kenneth Falconer ).
She has published, among others, Terence Tao, and Thomas Wolff.
In 2008 she received the warrior - Nelson Prize, 2002 Faculty of Science Achievement Award from the University of British Columbia and the 2004 Coxeter - James Prize. In 2009 she became a Fellow of the Fields Institute.
With Carol Shubin she gave in 2003 the lectures of Thomas Wolff harmonic analysis out.
