Alexandra Tamerius

Alexandra Tamerius, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Marian University's Department of Chemistry and Physical Sciences, located in Indianapolis, Indiana. She specializes in high-pressure chemistry, materials science, and condensed matter physics, with a focus on synthesizing novel materials under extreme conditions. Her research employs advanced techniques like X-ray diffraction and computational modeling to explore intermetallic compounds, topological materials, and magnetic systems.

Her work often bridges inorganic chemistry and physics, addressing challenges such as the stability and characterization of metastable phases formed under high pressure. Notable areas of exploration include bismuth-based compounds, magnetism in diamagnetic systems, and the discovery of topologically non-trivial materials. Dr. Tamerius’s articles frequently highlight the synthesis and analysis of binary intermetallics like Ni3Pb2, MoBi2, and MnBi2, emphasizing their structural and electronic properties under high-pressure conditions.

No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed, and her student advisees are not documented here. She is affiliated with Marian University’s College of Arts & Sciences and contributes to its academic programs in chemistry and physical sciences.
