Welcome to Susan Friedlander’s homepage

After many years at the University of Illinois at Chicago I now have a new home at the University of Southern California where I am a Professor in the Mathematics Department and Director of the Center for Applied Mathematical Sciences.

My research centers on the partial differential equations that describe the motion of fluids, namely the Euler and the Navier-Stokes equations. I am currently working in topics connected with fluid instabilities and mathematical models for turbulence.

I am the Editor in Chief of the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society. My other roles in the AMS have included

  • Associate Secretary
  • Member of the Council of the AMS
  • Chair of the Colloquium Publication Series
  • Member, Editorial Board of the Notices of the AMS

  • AMS – South Africa
  • AMS – Australia
  • AMS – Spain
  • AMS – India

  • Visiting Committee for MIT
  • Chair, Council of the Americas, 2016

You can find preprints of many of my recent articles on the ArXiv and most of my published papers are listed on MathSciNet. This includes the four volume “Handbook of Mathematical Fluid Dynamics” that I co-edited with Denis Serre and that was published by Elsevier.

Here are the links to some Mathematical institutes whose hospitality I have enjoyed:
