Biography:Olga Shishkina (physicist)
Olga Shishkina is a Russian physicist known for her research in fluid mechanics, including turbulence, Rayleigh–Bénard convection, and the structure and motion of boundary layers. She is a researcher in the Laboratory for Fluid Physics, Pattern Formation and Biocomplexity of the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen, Germany,[1] where she leads the "Theory of Turbulent Convection" group.[2]
Education and career
Shishkina earned a diploma in mathematics at Moscow State University in 1987, and in 1990 defended a doctoral thesis in scientific computation at the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics.[2]
After working for three years as a lecturer at the Rybinsk State Aviation Technical University, she returned to Moscow State University, where she worked as a researcher in computational mathematics from 1994 until 2002, when she moved to the Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology of the German Aerospace Center in Göttingen. She earned a habilitation in fluid mechanics in 2009 through Technische Universität Ilmenau, and a second habilitation in 2014 in mathematics at the University of Göttingen.[2]
In 2014 she moved from the Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology to the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization as a Heisenberg Fellow of the German Research Foundation, and in 2019 she became group leader for theory of turbulent convection at the Max Planck Institute.[2]
Recognition
In 2020, Shishkina was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), after a nomination from the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics, "for seminal contributions to the understanding of thermally driven turbulent convection, including Rayleigh-Bénard convection, rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection, and horizontal and vertical convection, both by numerical simulations and by theory".[3]
