Svitlana Mayboroda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Svitlana Mayboroda (Ukrainian: Світлана Майборода; born 1981) is a Ukrainian mathematician who works as a professor of mathematics at the University of Minnesota[1] and ETH Zurich,[2] and is a Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study.[3]

Mayboroda's research concerns harmonic analysis geometric measure theory and partial differential equations, including boundary value problems for elliptic partial differential equations.[4] In particular, her work has provided a new mathematical approach to Anderson localization, a phenomenon in physics in which waves are confined to a local region rather than propagating throughout a medium, and has enjoyed wide ranging applications in condensed matter physics, cold atoms systems, research and engineering of organic and nonorganic semiconductor materials and devices.[5][6]

Education and career

Mayboroda was born on June 2, 1981, in Kharkiv. She earned the Ukrainian equivalent of two master's degrees, one in finance and one in applied mathematics, from the University of Kharkiv in 2001, and completed her Ph.D. in 2005 from the University of Missouri under the supervision of Marius Mitrea.[1][7] After visiting positions at the Australian National University, Ohio State University, and Brown University, she joined the Purdue University faculty in 2008, and moved to the University of Minnesota in 2011.[1] In 2023, she joined the ETH Zurich faculty.[2]
