On 25 September, Svitlana Mayboroda gave her inaugural lecture entitled: "The hidden structure of the disorder: seeing complex geometry through the goggles of waves and minimizers". She has been a full professor in the Department since 1 August 2023.
The mathematical concepts that Svitlana Mayboroda develops can be used for all kinds of different applications – from studying the formation of stars to creating new semiconductors that save energy. For Mayboroda herself, however, the focus is on proving mathematical theorems with the aim of expanding our knowledge.
