Research

Natalia Petrovskaya is an applied mathematician with broad research experience in applied numerical analysis and computer simulation of complex biological, physical and engineering problems. Her research interests mainly concern design of non-conventional numerical algorithms for computational problems where standard numerical methods do not work or are not efficient because of the problem complexity. Recent applications include problems in mathematical ecology.

Research interests

Applied numerical analysis and computer simulation.
