Vera Roshchina

Associate Professor Vera Roshchina is a mathematician at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney, affiliated with the College of Science and School of Mathematics & Statistics. Her research focuses on convex geometry, mathematical optimization, and nonsmooth analysis, with significant contributions to projection methods, hyperbolicity cones, and Chebyshev approximation.

Her recent work explores

• constructing spectrahedra with prescribed facial dimensions (2025)
• optimal camouflaging in billiards (2025)
• convergence of projection algorithms (2024)
• amenability of hyperbolicity cones (2024)
• topological properties of convex sets (2023)

She is supported by multiple ARC Discovery grants and received the Christopher Heyde Medal (2021). Her teaching includes courses in Mathematical Optimization and Calculus.

She organized and participated in international research programs like MoCaO lectures (2024) and the WODCA2025 workshop, collaborating with researchers globally. Her publications span journals in optimization, nonlinear analysis, and dynamical systems.
