Early life and education

Berloff grew up in Russia.[1] She earned her Ph.D. from Florida State University in 1996, under the supervision of Louis Norberg Howard.[3]

Career

Berloff was a UC President's Research Fellow in the Department of Mathematics of the University of California, Los Angeles from 1997 to 1999, and continued there as PIC Assistant Professor from 1999 to 2002, when she became a Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, and a faculty member in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge, where she is now Professor in Applied Mathematics.

From 2013 to 2016 she took a leave from Cambridge to serve as a Professor and Director of Photonics and Quantum Materials Program at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Russia.

gollark: There would be no photon torpedoes at this time.
gollark: ```Cold Ones (also ice giants, the Finality, Lords of the Last Waste)Mythological beings who dwell at the end of time, during the final blackness of the universe, the last surviving remnants of the war of all-against-all over the universe’s final stocks of extropy, long after the passing of baryonic matter and the death throes of the most ancient black holes. Savage, autocannibalistic beings, stretching their remaining existence across aeons-long slowthoughts powered by the rare quantum fluctuations of the nothingness, these wretched dead gods know nothing but despair, hunger, and envy for those past entities which dwelled in eras rich in energy differentials, information, and ordered states, and would – if they could – feast on any unwary enough to fall into their clutches.Stories of the Cold Ones are, of course, not to be interpreted literally: they are a philosophical and theological metaphor for the pessimal end-state of the universe, to wit, the final triumph of entropy in both a physical and a spiritual sense. Nonetheless, this metaphor has been adopted by both the Flamic church and the archai themselves to describe the potential future which it is their intention to avert.The Cold Ones have also found a place in popular culture, depicted as supreme villains: perhaps best seen in the Ghosts of the Dark Spiral expansion for Mythic Stars, a virtuality game from Nebula 12 ArGaming, ICC, and the Void Cascading InVid series, produced by Dexlyn Vithinios (Sundogs of Delphys, ICC).```
gollark: And it's all just horribly dense spaghetti code.
gollark: There are no docs or comments anywhere. It's ridiculous.
gollark: I think you triggered the end stage of a long process.
