Susana Gutierrez is a Senior Lecturer and a member of the Mathematical Analysis Research Group in the School of Mathematics.

Susana’s research interests lie in a variety of aspects of euclidean harmonic analysis, with particular emphasis on applications to partial differential equations of mathematical physics.

Qualifications

  • PhD in Mathematics, University of the Basque Country (Spain), 2000
  • MSc in Mathematics, University of the Basque Country (Spain), 1998
  • BSc in Mathematics, University of the Basque Country (Spain), 1995

Biography

Susana Gutierrez studied Mathematics in Bilbao (Spain). She qualified with a Masters degree in Mathematics from the University of the Basque Country (Bilbao, Spain) in 1998, and received her PhD in Mathematics from the same institution in 2000. After completing her PhD, Susana held postdoctoral positions at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain), University of Edinburgh (UK), École Normale Supérieure (ENS) (Paris, France) and University of Nottingham (UK). Susana joined the School of Mathematics here at Birmingham in 2007.

RESEARCH ACTIVITY

Susana’s research concerns the rigorous analytical study of qualitative and quantitative properties of partial differential equations motivated by models of well-known physical processes. A recurring theme in her research is the application of techniques and perspectives from euclidean harmonic analysis and dispersive PDEs.

Susana has worked on developing the theory of singularity formation phenomena in the setting of nonlinear Schrodinger equations and intimately related geometric flows. These include the so-called Localized Induction Approximation for the evolution of vortex filaments in classical fluids, and more recently the family of Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations describing the dynamics for the spin in ferromagnetic materials.  Susana has also contributed to the understanding of the properties of kinetic transport equations and certain nonlinear kinetic models of chemotaxis.
