Serganova graduated from Moscow State University. She defended her Ph.D. in 1988 at Saint Petersburg State University under the joint supervision of Dimitry Leites and Arkady L'vovich Onishchik.[2] She was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1998[3] and a plenary speaker at the ICM in 2014.[4]

The Gelfand–Serganova theorem gives a geometric characterization of Coxeter matroids; it was published by Serganova and Israel Gelfand in 1987 as part of their research originating the concept of a Coxeter matroid.[5][6]
