Julia Pevtsova

Julia Pevtsova is a Russian-American mathematician who works as a professor of mathematics at the University of Washington. Her research concerns representation theory and in particular modular representation theory.

Pevstova competed for Russia in the 1992 International Mathematical Olympiad, earning a silver medal.[1][2] She earned a bachelor's degree in 1997 from Saint Petersburg State University,[1] and completed her doctorate in 2002 at Northwestern University, under the supervision of Eric Friedlander.[1][3] After postdoctoral studies at the University of Oregon, she joined the University of Washington in 2005.[1]

In 2017, she became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to modular representation theory".[4] In 2018 she won the distinguished teaching award of the Pacific Northwest Section of the Mathematical Association of America. The award cited her work teaching problem-solving to undergraduates in preparation for the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition and her leadership of math circles and other activities for local secondary-school students.[5]
