Reference excerpt

Marta Sanz-Solé (born 19 January 1952 in Sabadell, Barcelona) is a Catalan mathematician specializing in probability theory. She obtained her PhD in 1978 from the University of Barcelona under the supervision of David Nualart.

Career Sanz-Solé is professor at the University of Barcelona, and head of the research group on stochastic processes. Prior to taking up her post at the UB, she was associate professor at the University Autònoma of Barcelona. She was Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics UB from 1993-1996, and Vice-president of the Division of Experimental Sciences and Mathematics from 2000-2003. In May 2015 she was appointed chair of the scientific Committee of the Graduate School of Mathematics (BGSMath). and from May 2018 until October 2019, she held the position of Director.

Research Her research interests are in stochastic analysis, in particular stochastic differential and partial differential equations. She has published more than 100 scientific articles according to MathSciNet and zbMath Open. and a monograph on Malliavin calculus and applications to SPDEs.

Service Sanz-Solé served in the executive committee of the European Mathematical Society in 1997-2004. She was elected president in 2010, and held the post from January 2011 to December 2014. She is or has been member of several international committees overseeing the mathematical sciences. In particular, the Board of Directors of the Institut Henri Poincaré, the FSMP (Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris), the committee for research and education of the École Polytechnique, and the Scientific Committee of CIRM (Centre des Rencontres Mathématiques, Luminy, France). In the past years, she served in the Scientific Council of the Banach Center (2010-2014), the Fellows Committee of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (2012-2014), and the Committee of Special Lectures (2008-2010). She was a member of the Board of Directors of the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (Bellaterra, Barcelona) for a three-year period, starting April 2007. On the list of her editorial service there is the membership of the editorial board of the Annals of Probability

from 2015 to 2020. In June 2015, she was appointed member of the Abel Committee for the Abel Prize 2016, 2017. She served at the ERC Consolidator Grant panel PE1 in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2021, and was the chair in the last two calls.

Recognition In 1998 she was awarded with Narcis Monturiol Medal of Scientific and Technological Excellence by the Generalitat of Catalonia. In 2011 she was elected Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. In november 2016, she was elected numerary member of the Institute of Catalan Studies. In 2017 she was awarded the Real Sociedad Matemática Española Medal for her scientific contributions and relevant international positions and service. The same year, she was elected honorary fellow of the Catalan College of Economists . In January 2019, she became numerary member of the Royal Academy of Sciences and Arts of Barcelona. Since 2024, she is member of the Academia Europaea. On the occasion of her 70th birthday, she was honoured with the conference Stochastic Analysis and Stochastic Partial Differential Equations, held at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica in June 2022.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Marta Sanz-Solé

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Marta Sanz-Solé claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In mathematics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Marta Sanz-Solé before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Marta Sanz-Solé ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Marta Sanz-Solé

In research: Marta Sanz-Solé appears in mathematics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Marta Sanz-Solé in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Marta Sanz-Solé is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1952 births, 20th-century Spanish mathematicians, 20th-century statisticians, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Marta Sanz-Solé outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
