Olena Vaneeva
Olena Oleksandrivna Vaneeva is a Ukrainian mathematician and researcher and vice head of the Institute of Mathematics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Her interests include group analysis of differential equations and integrable systems, and partial differential equations.
Life and work
Vaneeva graduated with a silver medal from Dnipropetrovsk Secondary School in 1999 and enrolled at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of the Dnipro National University, graduating in 2004. She earned her PhD in Mathematical Physics with her dissertation titled Group classification and nonclassical symmetries of reaction-diffusion equations under the direction of R.O. Popovych. She finished her post-doctoral habilitation, also with Popovych, in 2020.Vaneeva has also collaborated with researchers at the University of Cyprus in Nicosia, in the department of mathematics and statistics working on group analysis of differential equations.
Since 2007, she has been working in Kyiv at the Ukrainian Institute of Mathematics and in 2021 became a leading researcher.
She is on the editorial board of the Ukrainian Mathematical Journal.
