Ksenia Maximova

Ksenia Maximova is a Researcher in the Department of Quantum Science & Technology at the Australian National University (ANU). She holds a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Material Science and Nanoscience from Aix-Marseille University (2014), focusing on novel nanomaterial synthesis via ultrashort laser ablation, and a Master's in Chemistry from Lomonosov Moscow State University (2010). Her research interests center on nanomaterials, laser ablation techniques, and their applications in fields like biomedical engineering, energy conversion, and materials science. She leads projects such as 'Femtosecond laser processing for mining planning,' exploring laser-rock interactions. Her work bridges fundamental material science with applied technologies, including cultural heritage preservation through laser cleaning and biomedical nanocatalysts.

Research Projects:

• Femtosecond laser processing for mining planning (2023–2024): Investigates laser ablation in slurry and rock interaction.

Advising & Grants: Supervises research students and collaborates on interdisciplinary projects involving femtosecond lasers and nanomaterial synthesis. Her funding includes ANU-supported initiatives in advanced materials research.
