Mihaela Ignatova

Mihaela Ignatova is a Bulgarian mathematician who won the 2020 Sadosky Prize of the Association for Women in Mathematics for her research in mathematical analysis, and in particular in partial differential equations and fluid dynamics.[1][2]

Education and career

Ignatova earned both a bachelor's degree from Sofia University and a master's degree from the University of Nantes in 2004, and a second master's degree from Sofia University in 2006, working under the supervision of Emil Horozov.[3] She then became a graduate student at the University of Southern California, and completed her Ph.D. there in 2011. Her dissertation was Quantitative unique continuation and complexity of solutions to partial differential equations and her doctoral advisor was Igor Kukavica.[4]

After working as a visiting assistant professor at the University of California, Riverside, a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, and an instructor at Princeton University, she moved to Temple University as an assistant professor in 2018.[1][3]

gollark: Indeed.
gollark: In osmarkshypotheticalbuildsystem™ it would be done using Lua.
gollark: Well, in osmarkspythonbuildsystem™ they would just edit the script.
gollark: So "dale" is going to be its own weirdly specific programming language, you're saying.
