Nataša Pavlović

Nataša Pavlović is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research focuses on fluid dynamics and nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations. She is particularly known for her collaborative work with Nets Katz, where they developed an approach to constructing singularities in equations resembling the Navier–Stokes equations by transferring a finite amount of energy through an infinitely decreasing sequence of time and length scales.

She earned her bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Belgrade in 1996 and completed her Ph.D. at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2002 under the joint supervision of Susan Friedlander and Nets Katz. Following her doctorate, Pavlović held positions at the Clay Mathematics Institute, Princeton University, the Institute for Advanced Study, and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. She joined the faculty at Princeton University in 2005 and moved to UT Austin in 2007.
