Anastassiya Semenova | PIMS - Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences

PIMS-Simons Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Washington

Anastassiya Semenova is in the second year of an Acting Instructorship (Postdoctoral Fellowship) at the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Washington. She has also been holding a PIMS-Simons Postdoctoral Fellowship since September 2023. Previously, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) at Brown University. Anastassiya has earned her PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of New Mexico, where she studied nonlinear waves.

The study of surface gravity waves is crucial for understanding the formation of rogue waves and whitecaps in ocean swell. Waves originating from the epicenter of a storm can often be approximated as unidirectional. In this presentation, we will...

The study of ocean waves, particularly surface waves, is crucial for predicting and preparing for natural disasters such as tsunamis. Although ocean waves naturally occur in three dimensions, there are instances when they can be analyzed within a two...
