Olga Ovchinnikova
Biography
Olga Ovchinnikova received her PhD from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in Chemical Physics. Following her doctoral studies she worked as a postdoctoral associate and research staff scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Currently she is the team lead of Chemical Imaging in the Nanofabrication Research Laboratory at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences at ORNL, investigating relationships between physical structure and chemical functionality at the nanoscale through the development of multimodal imaging platforms and co-registration of multidimensional data. Additionally, she works on engineering control in functional materials using helium and neon ion beams and investigating relationships between physical structure and chemical functionality driving towards atomically precise 3D material nanomanufacturing.
