Biography

Tamara Grava is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Bristol. She received her PhD from Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) in Italy and holds an MSci from the University of Trieste. Her research primarily focuses on mathematical physics, particularly integrable systems and their solvability. Grava has a keen interest in analytic probabilistic questions related to the behavior of solutions to dispersive nonlinear equations. Her work aims to provide a statistical description of the behavior of large equations derived from solitary wave solutions, leading to the formulation of generalized hydrodynamic equations. Additionally, she investigates non-Hermitian random matrices and their implications in the context of statistical mechanics. Grava also engages in research related to the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of random matrices, studying their statistical behaviors in various classes of lattice models.
