Svetlana A. Roudenko is a Russian-American mathematician known for her work in functional analysis and partial differential equations, and in particular in scattering theory and nonlinear Schrödinger equations.
Roudenko earned a master's degree in mathematics in 1996 from the Obninsk State Technical University for Nuclear Power Engineering in Russia.
[1] Her dissertation, The Theory of Function Spaces with Matrix Weights, was supervised by Michael Frazier.
[3] At George Washington University, Roudenko won a National Science Foundation CAREER Award aimed both at her work on differential equations and their applications in understanding ocean waves, air turbulence, laser focusing, and medical imaging, and also at setting up a math circles for middle school students and summer programs for high school students, with the goal of bringing in more women to mathematics.
[4] She also visited the University of California, Berkeley in 2016 and, while there, taught in math circles for elementary-school children.
