Elena Yanovna Braverman (née Lumelskaya, Russian: Елена Яновна Браверман) is a Russian, Israeli, and Canadian mathematician known for her research in delay differential equations, difference equations, and population dynamics.
[2] Braverman is originally from the Soviet Union,[3] and earned bachelor's and master's degrees at Perm State University in 1981 and 1983 respectively.
She remained in Israel for most of the following decade, with teaching positions at the Technion and at the ORT Braude College of Engineering.
[3] Braverman is a co-author of the book Nonoscillation Theory of Functional Differential Equations with Applications (with Ravi P. Agarwal, Leonid Berezansky, and Alexander Domoshnitsky, Springer, 2012).
Braverman's mother, Ludmila Mikhailovna Tsirulnikova, was also a university-level physics teacher,[3] whose father was Soviet weapons engineer Mikhail Yuryevich Tsirulnikov [ru].
