Anna Skorobogatova

Anna Skorobogatova obtained her PhD from Princeton University in 2024, supervised by Camillo De Lellis. She is currently an ETH-ITS Junior Fellow at the ETH in Zürich.

Skorobogatova works in geometric measure theory. She has made fundamental contributions to the regularity theory of minimal surfaces and to the structural understanding of their singularities. She established the rectifiability of the top-dimensional part of the singular set of area-minimizing integral currents, and the uniqueness of the tangent cones at almost every singular point, solving a problem that had remained completely open in codimensions greater than one, despite great efforts following Almgren’s Big Regularity Paper. She has also proved that the singular set of area-minimizing currents mod an integer q is a regular C^1 hypersurface aside from a lower-dimensional exceptional set, in all dimensions and codimensions and for all moduli q.

Anna Skorobogatova has been appointed as a Clay Research Fellow for four years beginning 1 July 2025.
