Rate My Professor Barbara Prinari

Prior to her current position, Prinari served as Professor of Mathematics at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs from 2016 to 2019, Associate Professor from 2012 to 2016, and Assistant Professor from 2009 to 2012. She also held positions at the University of Salento and visiting roles at the University of Colorado Boulder. Prinari co-authored the book Discrete and Continuous Nonlinear Schrödinger Systems, LMS Lecture Notes Series 302, Cambridge University Press (2004), with M.J. Ablowitz and A.D. Trubatch. Selected publications include "Inverse Scattering Transform for nonlinear Schrödinger system on a nontrivial background: a survey of classical results, new developments and future directions" (Journal of Nonlinear Mathematical Physics, 2023), "Inverse scattering transform for the complex short-pulse equation by a Riemann-Hilbert approach" (European Physical Journal Plus, 2020), "The three-component defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonzero boundary conditions" (Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2016), and "Dark-bright soliton solutions with nontrivial polarization interactions for the three-component defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonzero boundary conditions" (Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2015). She received the 2025 Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award for teaching and research on wave phenomena at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. Prinari is co-founder and deputy editor of the Cambridge Journal of Nonlinear Waves.
