Natalia L. Komarova (born 1971) is a Russian-American applied mathematician whose research concerns the mathematical modeling of cancer, [1] the evolution of language, [2] gun control, [3] pop music, [4] [5] and other complex systems. She is a Professor of Mathematics and Dean's Scholar at the University of California,San Diego. [6]
Komarova studied physics at Moscow State University,earning a master's degree there in 1993. [6] She completed her Ph.D. in 1998 at the University of Arizona. Her dissertation,Essays on Nonlinear Waves:Patterns under Water;Pulse Propagation through Random Media,was supervised by Alan C. Newell. [7]
After postdoctoral research at the University of Warwick,the Institute for Advanced Study,and the University of Chicago,Komarova became a lecturer at the University of Leeds in 2000. She moved to Rutgers University in 2003 and to the University of California,Irvine in 2004. At UC Irvine,she was named a Chancellor's Professor in 2017. [6] In 2024 she moved to University of California,San Diego.
Komarova won a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2005. [8] In 2023,Komarova was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. [9]
