Alina Chertock is a mathematician whose research involves numerical methods for partial differential equations, especially those modeling fluid dynamics, gas dynamics, and chemotaxis. Educated in the Soviet Union and Israel,[1] she works in the US as LeRoy B. Martin, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Mathematics and head of the Department of Mathematics at North Carolina State University.[2]
Chertock earned a master's degree in applied mathematics from Moscow State University in 1989, and a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Tel Aviv University in 1999.[1] Her doctoral dissertation, Strict stability of high-order compact implicit finite-difference schemes: the role of boundary conditions for hyperbolic PDEs, was supervised by Saul Abarbanel.[3]
After postdoctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, she joined North Carolina State University as an assistant professor of mathematics in 2002. She was promoted to associate professor in 2007 and full professor in 2013. She has been department head there since 2015.[1]
