معرفی
Tatyana Smirnova is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at North Carolina State University, affiliated with the College of Sciences. Her research focuses on applying spectroscopic techniques like EPR and fluorescence to study membrane and protein dynamics, drug-protein interactions, and bio-nano interfaces. She holds a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Illinois (1997) and a Diploma in Chemical Engineering from Lomonosov Institute of Fine Chemical Technology (1986).
Her work emphasizes advanced EPR methodologies to probe electrostatics, dielectric gradients, and molecular interactions at nanoscale interfaces. Key contributions include studies on transmembrane peptides, lipid bilayers, and silica nanoparticle interactions. Recent articles highlight innovations in spin-labeling EPR for structural and dynamic analysis of biological systems.
No scientific awards are explicitly listed. While no graduate advisees are named, her research group collaborates on grants involving bionanomaterials, vaccine development, and redox stress mechanisms. She leads efforts in the Department of Chemistry’s spectroscopy and biophysical chemistry initiatives, with ongoing projects exploring membrane protein assembly and nanoscale biointerfaces.
