In 2001, she visited Yale University in the United States. Then, in 2002, she moved to Canada. She started teaching at the University of Calgary. She became a full professor there in 2011.
Books and Family
Dr. Braverman has written a math book with other scientists. It is called Nonoscillation Theory of Functional Differential Equations with Applications. It was published in 2012.
Her Talented Family
Elena comes from a family of smart people! Her father, Yan Petrovich Lumel'skii, was also a mathematician. Her mother, Ludmila Mikhailovna Tsirulnikova, taught physics at a university.
