Vera Serganova

Vera Vladimirovna Serganova (Russian: Вера Владимировна Серганова) is a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley whose research concerns superalgebras and their representations.[1]

Serganova earned her Ph.D. in 1988 from Saint Petersburg State University under the joint supervision of Dimitry Leites and Arkady L'vovich Onishchik.[2] She was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1998 and a plenary speaker at the ICM in 2014.[3]

The Gelfand–Serganova theorem gives a geometric characterization of Coxeter matroids; it was published by Serganova and Israel Gelfand in 1987 as part of their research originating the concept of a Coxeter matroid.[4][5]
