Mary Catherine Silber is a professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Chicago who works on dynamical systems, in bifurcation theory and pattern formation.
[1] Silber completed her Ph.D. in physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1989, under the supervision of Edgar Knobloch.
[3] She moved to the Department of Statistics at the University of Chicago in 2015 as a faculty member in the Computational and Applied Mathematics Initiative.
[4] She is the Director of the Committee on Computational and Applied Mathematics, an interdisciplinary graduate program in computational and applied mathematics at the University of Chicago.
[5] In 2012 Silber became a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics "for contributions to the analysis of bifurcations in the presence of symmetry".
