Boris Rufimovich Vainberg () is a professor of mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He was born in 1938. He received his Dr.S. from Moscow State University, under the supervision of Samarii Galpern. He taught mathematics at Moscow State University for nearly 30 years,Author biography from his book with Kuznetsov and Maz'ya, Linear Water Waves, Cambridge University Press, 2002. then held a visiting professor position at the University of DelawareUpDate - Vol. 11, No. 11, Page 6, Univ. of Delaware. before taking his current position at UNCC.
His research concerns differential equations, scattering theory, and spectral theory. A survey of his research and publications is also presented in an article on his 80th birthday in the Russian Mathematical Surveys (Russian) and (English).
