Polina Solomonovna Landa (; February 15, 1931 – September 21, 2022) was a Russian physicist.

Early life and education

Landa was born in Kyiv, the daughter of Solomon V. Landa. Her family was Jewish. She graduated from high school in Moscow in 1948. She earned a master's degree in physics from Moscow State University in 1953, and completed her doctoral studies there in 1960; her dissertation research, "On the stability of self-oscillatory systems and automatic control systems in the presence of random influences", was written under advisor Sergei Pavlovich Strelkov.[1] She defended a second dissertation, "Investigation of the dynamic and statistical characteristics of optical quantum generators and amplifiers", in 1972.[2]

Career

Landa joined the faculty of Moscow State University in 1956, and remained there as a researcher and professor until she retired in 2020. She taught, did research on oscillations, with applications in plasma, lasers, and acoustics, and supervised twelve doctoral students through to the completion of their degrees. She was a visiting researcher at Lancaster University in 1999 and 2003.[3] [4] She was a member of the Russian National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics.

Publications

Landa published dozens of articles and several monographs from her research. Her work appeared in Russian-language and English-language journals, including Physics-Uspekhi,[5] [6] [7] [8] Soviet Journal of Quantum Electronics,[9] Chaos, Solitons, and Fractals,[10] Physical Review E,[11] [12] International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos,[13] Biological Cybernetics,[14] and Physics Reports.[15] She contributed four articles to The Encyclopedia of Nonlinear Science (2006).[16]
