Svitlana Mayboroda, Ph.D.

Mayboroda is a professor of mathematics at ETH Zurich, a McKnight Presidential Professor at the University of Minnesota, and the director of the Simons Collaboration on Localization of Waves. Her work lies at the interface between partial differential equations, analysis and geometric measure theory. Her discoveries have led to a wide range of applications in condensed matter physics, cold atom systems and the research and engineering of organic and nonorganic semiconductor materials and devices. She is a recipient of the U.S. Blavatnik National Award in Physical Sciences and Engineering, the Stein Prize for New Perspectives in Analysis and the AWM-Sadosky Prize in Analysis. She is a member of the European Academy of Sciences and the German Academy of Sciences. In 2018, she was an invited sectional speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians.
