Oxford Mathematician José Carrillo has been named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) for 2026, one of 40 new fellows for the forthcoming year.
José A. Carrillo is currently Professor of the Analysis of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations here in the Mathematical Institute and Tutorial Fellow in Applied Mathematics at The Queen's College, University of Oxford. He mainly works on kinetic and nonlinear nonlocal diffusion equations. He has contributed to the theoretical and numerical analysis of PDEs, and their simulation in different applications such as granular media, semiconductors, collective behaviour, and lately in plasmas and tissue modelling.
José is currently officer at large at the International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics 2024-2028 and head of the Division of the European Academy of Sciences, Section Mathematics where he was elected in 2018. He received the 2022 Echegaray Medal of the Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences and was a plenary speaker at the International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics in Tokyo 2023.
The AMS is a mathematics society dedicated to advancing research, promoting learning, and supporting careers.
