Elena Levchenko

Dr. Elena Levchenko is an Associate Professor in Applied Mathematics at the University of Newcastle, affiliated with the School of Information and Physical Sciences and the Department of Mathematics. Her research focuses on mathematical physics, computational modeling, and materials science, particularly in the design and analysis of advanced materials at micro, nano, and atomic scales. She holds a PhD from Voronezh State Technical University and has conducted extensive research on the structure-property relationships in materials, supported by fellowships such as the Marie Curie Research Fellowship (2004) and the University of Newcastle Research Fellowship (2007).

Her research expertise spans applied mathematics, computational geometry, statistical mechanics, and condensed matter physics. She has organized prestigious international symposiums, including sessions on computer modeling in nanoscience and theory in physics for materials applications. Dr. Levchenko has contributed to over 90 journal articles, focusing on diffusion kinetics, thermal transport, and molecular dynamics simulations in alloys and nanomaterials.

Awarded the 2021 Leadership Excellence Award and multiple teaching accolades, she balances research with academic leadership roles, including membership in the Student Engagement Committee and the Advisory Board of the PRC for Geotechnical and Materials Modelling. Her collaborations include leading institutions like Lille University of Science and Technology (France), the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (France), and Tohoku University (Japan).
