Prof. Alfio Quarteroni is Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, and Professor at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy. He is internationally recognised as a pioneer in numerical analysis, scientific computing, and the mathematical modelling of complex systems, with high-impact applications in engineering, cardiovascular medicine, and environmental sciences.

🏅 In 2024, Prof. Quarteroni was awarded the Blaise Pascal Medal in Mathematics, the highest scientific distinction of the European Academy of Sciences in this field, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to applied mathematics and computational modelling. 

Author of over 400 scientific publications and more than 25 monographs, Prof. Quarteroni has led groundbreaking projects in computational mathematics, including the numerical modelling of the human heart and the design of high-performance sailing vessels, such as the Alinghi yacht, which won the America's Cup.

He is a Member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, Academia Europaea, and the European Academy of Sciences (EurASc), among other institutions of high prestige.

Within EurASc, Prof. Quarteroni served as Officer of the Division of Computational and Information Sciences across two mandates:

• First mandate: March 2017 – March 2020

• Second mandate: March 2020 – March 2023 (extended until March 2024 due to the COVID-19 pandemic)
