Alessandra Celletti (mathematician)

Alessandra Celletti (born 12 February 1962) is an Italian mathematician. She earned a master's degree in mathematics in 1984 at the University of Rome La Sapienza, and a PhD in 1989 at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) under the supervision of Jürgen Moser and Jörg Waldvogel. Her research activity concerns dynamical systems, Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser (KAM) theory, and celestial mechanics.

She is a founding member of the Italian Society of Celestial Mechanics and Astrodynamics,[1] which she chaired from 2001 to 2013. Since 1993 she has coordinated the international CELMEC meetings. She is full professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Since 2010 she has been an honorary member of the "Celestial Mechanics Institute". Since 2016 she is editor-in-chief of the journal "Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy".[2] In 2012 she was an invited speaker at the 6th European Congress of Mathematics.[3] In 2015 she was elected vice-President of the Scientific Committee in Celestial Mechanics of the International Astronomical Union. Since 2012 she has been a member of the Scientific Committee of the European Women in Mathematics (EMS/EWM) and since 2017 she has chaired the Women in Mathematics Committee[4] of the European Mathematical Society.

In 2007, her book Ordine e caos nel sistema solare in collaboration with Ettore Perozzi was a finalist for the Galileo Popular Science Prize.

The asteroid 2005 DJ1 has been named in her honour (117539 Celletti).

gollark: We memetically bombard this with the idea that the current situation is not optimal, and THEN genericize them.
gollark: Of course.
gollark: As a Go developer, you have surely encountered at some point something using the `container` package, containing things like `container/ring` (ring buffers), `container/list` (doubly linked list), and `container/heap` (heaps, somehow). You may also have noticed that use of these APIs requires `interface{}`uous type casting. As a Go developer you almost certainly do not care about the boilerplate, but know that this makes your code mildly slower, which you ARE to care about.
gollark: High demand for generics by programmers around the world is clear, due to the development of languages like Rust, which has highly generic generics, and is supported by Mozilla, a company. As people desire generics, the market *is* to provide them.
gollark: Hmm.
