Education and career

Silber earned a bachelor's degree in physics from Sonoma State University in 1981.[2] She completed her Ph.D. in physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1989, under the supervision of Edgar Knobloch. Her dissertation was Bifurcations with Symmetry and Spatial Pattern Selection.[3]

After postdoctoral research at the University of Minnesota, Georgia Institute of Technology, and California Institute of Technology, she joined the Northwestern faculty in 1993.[2] 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.

Recognition

In 2012 she became a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics "for contributions to the analysis of bifurcations in the presence of symmetry".[4]
