Anastasia Molchanova

I am currently an Elise Richter fellow at the Institute of Analysis and Scientific Computing at TU Wien with my project “Global and Local Behavior of Deformations”.

My research is primarily concerned with analysis — especially functional and quasiconformal analysis, as well as with calculus of variations and its application in materials science. I am also interested in geometric measure theory, control theory, sub-Riemannian geometry, and PDEs. After completing my Ph.D.-thesis on quasiconformal analysis, I am carrying out my research at the interface between these fields and binding them up together.
Besides research, I am a member of the Austrian Association of Women in Mathematics (A²WiM).

You can meet me at
Vienna Geometric Analysis Seminar, University of Vienna, second Wednesday of every month at 11:30-13:00;
Workshop “Analysis and PDE”, KAUST, Saudi Arabia, April 7 - 10, 2025;
