Shoshana Kamin (Russian: Шошана Камин, Hebrew: פרופ' שושנה קמין) (born December 24, 1930), born Susanna L'vovna Kamenomostskaya (Russian: Сусанна Львовна Каменомостская), is a Soviet-born Israeli mathematician, working on the theory of parabolic partial differential equations and related mathematical physics problems.
Shoshana Kamin graduated from Moscow University in 1953 and earned her "candidate of science" degree from the same university in 1959, under the supervision of Olga Oleinik. She left the Soviet Union in the early 1971 , becoming professor in Tel Aviv University, where she is now professor emeritus.
In the late 1950s, she gave the first proof of the existence and uniqueness of the generalized solution of the three-dimensional Stefan problem. Her proof was generalised by Oleinik.
Later, she made important contributions to the study of the porous medium equation,
and to non-linear elliptic equations.
