IDC Committee members:  Prof. Keith J. Stevenson, Assistant Prof. Stanislav Fedotov, Assistant Prof. Victoria Nikitina

Biography: 

Maria graduated from D. I. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia in 2021, where she received the Specialist degree. During the education period, she worked on research projects related to novel catalytic organic reactions in A. N. Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds. In 2021, Maria started her PhD studies at Skoltech and began working in the field of development of organic redox-active materials for redox flow batteries.
