Natalia L. Komarova(born 1971) is a Russian-Americanapplied mathematicianwhose research concerns themathematical modelingof cancer,[1]theevolution of language,[2]gun control,[3]pop music,[4][5]and othercomplex systems.She is a Professor of Mathematics and Dean's Scholar at theUniversity of California, San Diego.[6]
Education and career
[edit]Komarova studied physics atMoscow State University,earning a master's degree there in 1993.[6]She completed her Ph.D. in 1998 at theUniversity of Arizona.Her dissertation,Essays on Nonlinear Waves: Patterns under Water; Pulse Propagation through Random Media,was supervised byAlan C. Newell.[7]
After postdoctoral research at theUniversity of Warwick,theInstitute for Advanced Study,and theUniversity of Chicago,Komarova became a lecturer at theUniversity of Leedsin 2000. She moved toRutgers Universityin 2003 and to theUniversity of California, Irvinein 2004. At UC Irvine, she was named a Chancellor's Professor in 2017.[6]In 2024 she moved toUniversity of California, San Diego.
Recognition
[edit]Komarova won aSloan Research Fellowshipin 2005.[8]
