Olga Ladyzhenskaya

Biography

Olga Ladyzhenskaya made foundational contributions to the theory of partial differential equations and fluid dynamics that profoundly shaped modern mathematical physics. She proved the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions, a landmark result in the study of fluid flow. A student of Ivan Petrovsky, she authored over 250 papers and received the Lomonosov Gold Medal from the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2002 for her extraordinary contributions to mathematics.
