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 Chancellor's Professor of Mathematics at the University of California,Irvine. [6]
Komarova studied physics at Moscow State University,earning a master's degree there in 1993. [7] 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. [8]
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. [7]
Komarova won a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2005. [9]
Komarova is married to UC Irvine evolutionary biologist Dominik Wodarz. [3] She has written three books with Wodarz:
The University of California,Irvine is a public land-grant research university in Irvine,California. One of the ten campuses of the University of California system,UCI offers 87 undergraduate degrees and 129 graduate and professional degrees,and roughly 30,000 undergraduates and 6,000 graduate students are enrolled at UCI as of Fall 2019. The university is classified among "R1:Doctoral Universities –Very high research activity",and had $523.7 million in research and development expenditures in 2021. UCI became a member of the Association of American Universities in 1996. The university was rated as one of the "Public Ivies”in 1985 and 2001 surveys comparing publicly funded universities the authors claimed provide an education comparable to the Ivy League.
Ralph John Cicerone was an American atmospheric scientist and administrator. From 1998 to 2005,he was the chancellor of the University of California,Irvine. From 2005 to 2016,he was the president of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). He was a "renowned authority" on climate change and atmospheric chemistry,and issued an early warning about the grave potential risks of climate change.

The University of California,Irvine School of Law is the law school at the University of California,Irvine,a public research university in Irvine,California. Founded in 2007,it is the fifth and newest law school in the UC system. At the time of its founding,it was the first new public law school in California in over 40 years.
The University of California,Irvine has over fourteen academic divisions.
The School of Physical Sciences is an academic unit of the University of California,Irvine (UCI) that conducts academic research and teaching in the field of physical sciences. It offers both pre-professional training and general education in the departments of chemistry,earth system science,mathematics,and physics and astronomy. The school enrolls 1,400 undergraduate and graduate students and is one of the top schools in the nation in the number of degrees it confers in the area of physical sciences. It also offers specializations such as biochemistry,statistics,math for economics,applied and computational mathematics,astrophysics,applied physics,biomedical physics,and education. In 1995,the school gained international prominence when Frank Sherwood Rowland,a professor in chemistry and Frederick Reines,a professor in physics,won the Nobel Prize in their respective fields. It was the first time two people won the prize in the same year in two different fields at the same public university.
Pierre Baldi is a distinguished professor of computer science at University of California Irvine and the director of its Institute for Genomics and Bioinformatics.
