Evgenia Zabolotskaya

Evgenia A. Zabolotskaya is a Russian-American physicist known for her contributions to nonlinear acoustics.[1] the Khokhlov–Zabolotskaya equation and Khokhlov–Zabolotskaya–Kuznetsov equation in nonlinear acoustics are named in part for her.[2][3]

Education and career

Zabolotskaya studied physics at Moscow State University, completing her PhD there in 1968 under the supervision of Rem Khokhlov. After working at the Andreyev Acoustics Institute, she returned to Moscow State University in 1971, appointed to the biology department. In 1982 she moved again, to the General Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.[1]

After meeting and beginning to work with University of Texas at Austin mechanical engineers David Blackstock and his student Mark Hamilton, starting in 1982, Zabolotskaya moved to the University of Texas in 1991. From 1997 to 2000 she was on leave from the university to work at a start-up company in Virginia. She retired in 2015.[1]

Recognition

Zabolotskaya won the USSR State Prize in 1985. She is the 2017 winner of the Silver Medal in Physical Acoustics of the Acoustical Society of America.[1]
