Dmitry V. Liskin

Dmitry V. Liskin serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Biology, Chemistry and Environmental Science at Christopher Newport University, teaching organic chemistry and mentoring undergraduate researchers through hands-on analytical projects.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Washington
• B.S. in ACS Biochemistry from Mississippi College

Dr. Liskin's research investigates terroir effects on brewing ingredients using advanced instrumentation. His work analyzes how regional variations in malt and hops influence beer chemistry through phenolic compounds, aroma profiles, and phytochemical composition. This bridges agricultural science with sensory analysis in craft brewing.

His 2023 ACS book chapter established foundational principles for regional brewing impacts. Current research trends show increasing sophistication in chemical profiling, with recent work focusing on malt terroir effects through HPLC/HR-LCMS and hop phytochemical variations via GC-MS analysis.

He actively secures research funding including a Shimadzu LCMS 9030 instrumentation grant, and regularly involves students as co-authors in national conference presentations at ACS and SERMACS events.
