Izabella Łaba (born 1966) [1] is a Polish-Canadian mathematician, a professor of mathematics at the University of British Columbia. Her main research specialties are harmonic analysis, geometric measure theory, and additive combinatorics.
Łaba earned a master's degree in 1986 from the University of Wrocław. [2] She received her PhD from the University of Toronto in 1994, under the supervision of Israel Michael Sigal, [2] [3] after which she was a postdoctoral scholar at University of California, Los Angeles and then an assistant professor at Princeton University before moving to UBC in 2000. [2]
She is one of three founding editors of the Online Journal of Analytic Combinatorics. [4]
Łaba's thesis research proved the asymptotic completeness of many n-body systems in the presence of a constant magnetic field. [2] [5] While at UCLA, with Nets Katz and Terence Tao, she made important contributions to the theory of Kakeya sets, including the best known lower bound on these sets in three-dimensional Euclidean spaces. [2] [5] Her more recent work concerns harmonic analysis, periodic tilings, and Falconer's conjecture on sets of distances of points. [5]
Łaba was the 2004 winner of the Coxeter–James Prize, an annual prize of the Canadian Mathematical Society for outstanding young mathematicians. [2] In 2008, the CMS honoured her again with their Krieger–Nelson Prize, given to an outstanding woman in mathematics. [5]
In 2012 she became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. [6]
