SIAM: Irene Fonseca president of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics – Pittsburgh,PA  — Portuguese American Journal
Mathematician Irene Fonseca, 55, was elected president of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) the world’s largest and most prestigious scientific society dedicated to applied mathematics.

NSF Builds More Partnerships for International Research and Education  — National Science Foundation
Science at the Triple Point Between Mathematics, Mechanics and Materials Science (Carnegie Mellon University) PIRE funding will enable PI Irene Fonseca and an international network of mathematicians from the United States, Belgium, United Kingdom, Germany and Italy to collaborate at the interface of mathematics and materials science and to develop sophisticated new methods for understanding the complexities of advanced materials. Graduate courses will be developed and U.S. students will strengthen their interdisciplinary and global research skills by conducting international research with multiple mentors and/or by participating in an international industrial research internship. Such international curriculum and student mobility will help internationalize U.S. institutions and place them in a vibrant international network of applied mathematicians.
