Education and career

Canzani was born in Spain and grew up in Uruguay.[2] She was an undergraduate at the University of the Republic (Uruguay), where she earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 2008.[3] She completed a Ph.D. in 2013 at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, with the dissertation Spectral Geometry of Conformally Covariant Operators jointly supervised by Dmitry Jakobson and John Toth.[4]

After postdoctoral study at the Institute for Advanced Study and as a Benjamin Peirce Fellow at Harvard University, she became an assistant professor of mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2016.[3] In 2021 she was promoted to associate professor.[3][1]

Recognition

Canzani is a recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER Award and a Sloan Research Fellowship.[3][5] She is the 2022 winner of the Sadosky Prize in analysis of the Association for Women in Mathematics.[1][5] The award was given "in recognition of outstanding contributions in spectral geometry and microlocal analysis", citing her "breakthrough results on nodal sets, random waves, Weyl Laws, -norms, and other problems on eigenfunctions and eigenvalues on Riemannian manifolds".[5]
