Svetlana Yakovlevna Jitomirskaya (born June 4, 1966) is a Ukrainian mathematician working on dynamical systems and mathematical physics.[1][2]
Jitomirskaya was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Both her mother, Valentina Borok, and her father Yakov Zhitomirskii were professors of mathematics.[1]
She obtained her Ph.D. from Moscow State University in 1991 under the supervision of Yakov Sinai.[3] She joined the mathematics department at the University of California, Irvine in 1991 as a lecturer, and became an assistant professor there in 1994 and a full professor in 2000.[2]
In 2005, she was awarded the Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize in Mathematics.[4]
