Larisa Lvova

Larisa Lvova is a researcher affiliated with the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy. She holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from St. Petersburg State University, Russia, and a Dr.Sc. in Analytical Chemistry (2017) and a second Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences (2012) from Tor Vergata University. Her research focuses on the development of chemical sensors and multisensory systems for environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical analysis, and biomedical applications.

Her educational background includes:

• M.S. in Physical Chemistry (1996), St. Petersburg State University
• Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry (1999), St. Petersburg State University
• Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences (2012), University of Rome Tor Vergata
• Dr.Sc. in Analytical Chemistry (2017), St. Petersburg State University

Research interests emphasize:

• Optical and electrochemical sensors for heavy metals and pharmaceuticals
• Electronic nose and tongue systems for environmental and food analysis
• Novel materials for gas and liquid sensing (e.g., porphyrins, corroles, nanocellulose)

Her recent publications highlight advancements in sensor design for pollutants like PFOA ('forever chemicals'), drug monitoring (e.g., ketoprofen), and environmental contaminants. She serves as a Review Editor for Supramolecular Chemistry in Frontiers in Chemistry.

Lvova collaborates internationally on sensor arrays for ecological and biomedical applications. Her work bridges material science, analytical chemistry, and engineering to address real-world challenges in environmental protection and healthcare.
