Irene Sciriha Aquilina is a Maltese mathematician specializing in spectral graph theory and chemical graph theory.[1] A particular topic of her research has been the singular graphs, graphs whose adjacency matrix is a singular matrix, and the nut graphs, singular graphs all of whose nontrivial induced subgraphs are non-singular.[2] She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Malta.[3]

Education and career

[edit]

Sciriha studied mathematics at the University of Malta, earning bachelor's and master's degrees[3] as the only woman studying mathematics or physics there at that time.[2] She completed a PhD in 1998 at the University of Reading in England. Her dissertation, On some aspects of graph spectra, was jointly supervised by Anthony Hilton and Stanley Fiorini.[4]

She began teaching at the University of Malta in 1971.[3] She was convenor of European Women in Mathematics from 2000 to 2001.[1]

Recognition

[edit]

Sciriha is a Fellow of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications.[3] One of her students, chemist Martha Borg, won the Turner Prize at the University of Sheffield for a doctoral dissertation co-advised by Sciriha and Patrick W. Fowler.[5]
