Nataša Pavlović is a Serbian mathematician who works as a professor of mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin.Her research concerns fluid dynamics and nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations.She is known for her work with Nets Katz pioneering an approach to constructing singularities in equations resembling the Navier–Stokes equations, by transferring a finite amount of energy through an infinitely decreasing sequence of time and length scales. She was a Sloan Research Fellow from 2008 to 2012.In 2015 she was elected as a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
