- Location Zürich, Switzerland
- Election year 2025
Research
Research Priorities: Harmonic analysis, geometric measure theory, partial differential equations
Svitlana Mayboroda is a Ukrainian-American mathematician. Her research combines partial differential equations, analysis, and geometric measure theory. Her results have been applied across a spectrum of fields – from condensed-matter physics and cold-atom systems to the design and engineering of organic and inorganic semiconductor materials and devices.
