Donatella Donatelli is full professor in mathematical analysis at the Department of Information Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics of the University of L’Aquila, Italy. Her research interests cover partial differential equations of hyperbolic type, relaxation limits for nonlinear hyperbolic systems, incompressible and compressible Navier–Stokes equations, and mathematical models of fluid dynamical type. In particular, her main achievements are on scale limit analysis for fluid dynamic equations with relevant results in the related acoustic waves analysis. In 2011, Donatella was awarded the Marisa Bellisario Prize in the section “Special recognition of young talents in research” in Mathematical and Computer Sciences (this is a national prize under the auspices of the Italian President, lnx.fondazionebellisario.org/online/2011-2/).
She has been the Coordinator of the LLP-EU Intensive Programs Fluid2Bio 2012–2011, contract N.2012-1-IT2-ERA10-38827, 2011, contract N.2011-1-IT2-ERA10-27088 and the Scientific Coordinator of the L’Aquila node of the European Project Marie Curie Actions-MSCA-ITN-2014-ETN, Horizon 2020 “ModCompShock-Modelling and Computation of Shocks and Interfaces”, 2016–2020.
