Aleksandra Zahharova

Aleksandra Zahharova is a Research Fellow at Tallinn University of Technology's School of Science, Department of Chemistry and Biotechnology, with part-time appointments from 2023–2024. Her research focuses on biomedical engineering, quantum chemistry, and computational systems. She holds dual Master’s degrees: one in Engineering of Computer Science from Technische Universität Ilmenau (2017), and another in Biomedical Engineering from Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University (2017). Her interrupted PhD research explores automatic systems for molecular-mechanics models.

Education:

• PhD Candidate (Interrupted): Tallinn University of Technology (2018–2025)
• Master’s in Biomedical Engineering: Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University (2015–2017)
• Master’s in Computer Science Engineering: Technische Universität Ilmenau (2016–2017)
• Bachelor’s in Biomedical Engineering: Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University (2011–2015)

Research Interests: Zahharova’s work bridges biomedical systems and computational methodologies. Her past projects include optical stimulation systems for the eye and software for visual system research. Current interrupted PhD research emphasizes automating molecular-mechanics models using computational quantum chemistry techniques.
