Andrea Rica Nahmod (born 1964) is a mathematician at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She is known for her work in nonlinear partial differential equations and other areas of nonlinear analysis.

Career

Nahmod received her Ph.D. from Yale University in 1991. She went to work as a research fellow at Macquarie University from 1992 to 1994, followed by positions at University of Texas, Austin, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, and the Institute for Advanced Study, before coming to work at University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1998.

Awards and honors

In 2013, Nahmod became a Simons Fellow.

In 2014, Nahmod became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. The society cited her “contributions to nonlinear Fourier analysis, harmonic analysis, and partial differential equations, as well as service to the mathematical community.”

Nahmod was named MSRI Simons Professor for 2015-2016.
