Tatyana Shcherbina is an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics. She was raised in Ukraine, where she earned her Ph.D. degree in 2012 from the B. Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering. She is interested in probability and mathematical physics, especially in the study of the local statistics of eigenvalues of the large random matrices and their relations to Anderson localization, statistical mechanics and operator theory. Before moving to Madison in 2020, she was a member of the School of Mathematics of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey and an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University. Professor Shcherbina is a 2022 Sloan Research Fellow.
A word from Dean Eric M. Wilcots:
Professor Shcherbina is the first-ever female probabilist at our institution, a true sign of breaking through a “glass ceiling” in the field. She has made her way to the pinnacle of her research area in a manner that is somewhat unusual among today’s successful young mathematicians.
