Vanya Rafaeli Barseghyan

Vanya Rafaeli Barseghyan is a Professor in the Department of Mechanics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics, Yerevan State University. Her research focuses on optimal control theory, vibrational mechanics, thermal systems control, and variable structure systems. She has published extensively in journals such as Mathematics MDPI, Axioms, and Mechanics of Solids, often collaborating with researchers like Svetlana Solodusha, Tamara Simonyan, and Aram Matevosyan.

Her work addresses boundary control problems, including string vibrations with intermediate constraints, thermal process control in heterogeneous materials, and dynamical systems with variable structure. Key methodologies involve energy minimization, partial differential equation control, and state-dependent constraints.
