She has been awarded a Royal Spanish Mathematical Society (RSME) medal for her career and as a trailblazer for women to be involved in mathematical research.
Life
Lozano was born in Pamplona in 1946. In 1969 she obtained a degree and five years later she completed her doctorate in mathematics at the University of Zaragoza.{{MathGenealogy|id=206078}} Her postdoctoral work began at the University of Wisconsin, where she was an honorary fellow.{{Cite web|url=http://www.rac.es/2/2_ficha.php?id=456|title=Real Academia de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales - Académicos - Académicos|website=www.rac.es|access-date=2019-11-26}} In 1978 she returned to Spain where she became a professor at the University of Zaragoza.
In 1990 she was made the Professor of Geometry and Topology. She was the first professor and the first director in her university's Faculty of Sciences. She was also the first emeritus professor of her faculty.{{Cite web|url=http://www.unizar.es/actualidad/vernoticia_ng.php?id=30860&idh=6948|title=La Real Sociedad Matemática Española distingue a la profesora María Teresa Lozano Imízcoz|website=www.unizar.es|access-date=2019-11-26}}
