Marina Petrukhina (born March 15, 1963) is a chemist and the Carla Rizzo Delray Professor of Chemistry at the University at Albany. Her research investigates organometallic and coordination chemistry in curved molecular systems. She was elected Fellow of the American Chemical Society in 2023.

Early life and education

[edit]

Petrukhina studied chemistry at Moscow State University.[1] She remained in Moscow for her doctoral research, where she specialised in inorganic chemistry.[1] After earning her doctorate she moved to the United States, where she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Texas A&M University.

Research and career

[edit]

Petrukhina works on transition metal clusters, supramolecular and materials chemistry.[2] In 2001 she joined the University at Albany, SUNY, where she was awarded an National Science Foundation CAREER Award.[3]
