Anna Sakovich

Anna Sakovich is a Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Uppsala University, specializing in Geometry and Physics. She joined the university in March 2016 after completing postdoctoral positions at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam-Golm, and the University of Vienna.

Her educational background includes:

• BSc and MSc from Belarusian State University
• PhD from KTH Stockholm (2013) under the supervision of Mattias Dahl

Dr. Sakovich's research focuses on geometric analysis and mathematical general relativity. She investigates fundamental concepts such as mass and center of mass in general relativity, with specific interests in the positive mass theorem, Penrose conjecture, and geometric foliations near infinity. Her work also extends to the metric theory of Lorentzian manifolds, contributing to our understanding of spacetime geometry and causal structure.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent focus on asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds and their applications to general relativity. Her work combines deep mathematical analysis with physical insights, particularly in understanding the geometric constraints imposed by Einstein's equations. She frequently collaborates with leading researchers in mathematical relativity, including Carla Cederbaum and Christina Sormani.

Her scientific contributions have been supported by prestigious funding sources:

• Swedish Research Council
• Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation

Dr. Sakovich is actively involved in the mathematical relativity community, co-organizing JoMaReC (a monthly online mathematical general relativity colloquium) with Annegret Burtscher, Carla Cederbaum, Greg Fournadavlos, Edgar Gasperin, and Jan Metzger. This initiative helps connect researchers worldwide in this specialized field.
