Paolo Emilio Ricci

Paolo Emilio Ricci is an Italian mathematician, working on mathematical physics, orthogonal polynomials, special functions, numerical analysis, approximation theory and other related subjects mathematical analysis, theory of elliptic partial differential equations and special functions: he is also known for his work collaboration with Johan Gielis.

Education and academic career

Paolo Emilio Ricci received his Laurea degree (cum laude) on 7 July 1967, at the Sapienza University of Rome: his thesis supervisor was Gaetano Fichera.

After his graduation he was appointed assistant professor to the chair of Mathematical Analysis II again at the Sapienza University of Rome for the 1967-1968 academic year.

From November 1, 1981, to November 1, 1990, he held the chair of Mathematical Analysis I at the Faculty of Engineering of the Sapienza University of Rome, From 1990 to the year of his retirement (2009) he held the chair of numerical analysis at the Faculty of Natural, Physical and Mathematical Sciences of the Sapienza University of Rome:

Honors

On 10 September 2003, he was awarded Doctor Honoris Causa by the I. Vekua Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University.

In 2015, during the workshop "Modeling in Mathematics", for his contributions to geometry and mathematics, he was awarded the second Simon Stevin Prize for Geometry.

On 23–24 May 2024, a conference in honor of Paolo Emilio Ricci on his 80th Birthday was held in Rome at the Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo "Mauro Picone" IAC - CNR.
