She will be teaching Math 205A (Real Analysis) and Math 272 (Topics in PDE) this fall.
Scholar-generated biography
Eugenia Malinnikova is a researcher at Stanford University specializing in function theory and elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs). Her work focuses on the analysis of nodal sets of Laplace eigenfunctions, quantitative propagation of smallness for elliptic equations, and unique continuation properties. She has contributed to the study of harmonic functions, subharmonic functions, and the behavior of solutions to elliptic equations with singular lower order terms. Her research also includes topics such as the Landis conjecture, Hardy’s uncertainty principle, and the structure of zero sets of eigenfunctions. Malinnikova's publications often intersect with time-frequency analysis, Riesz bases, and the geometry of phase space.
