Mónica Alicia Clapp Jiménez Labora is a mathematician at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) known for her work in nonlinear partial differential equations and algebraic topology.
Life and work
[edit]Clapp was born in Mexico City.[1] She graduated from UNAM in 1974. Clapp then graduated with her Ph.D from Heidelberg University in 1979, and has been a faculty member at UNAM since that time.[2]
Clapp has been an editor of the journals Boletín de la Sociedad Matemática Mexicana and Aportaciones Matemáticas.[1]
Awards and honors
[edit]In 2012, Clapp became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[3] She is also a member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences.[4]
In 2018, she received the National Prize for Sciences in the Physics, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences category, "for his outstanding contribution in the fields of nonlinear partial differential equations, variational and topological methods in nonlinear analysis, as well as algebraic topology."[5][6]
