Biography

Anna Klinkova's current research focuses on understanding the formation mechanisms, structural behavior, and geometric complexity of inorganic nanoparticles and their applications in catalysis and quantum optics. Her ability to finetune nanoparticle geometry allows for the creation of unusual nanoparticle shapes, enabling unprecedented control over their chemical and physical properties. This includes the exploration of new catalytic pathways for converting waste molecules into valuable products, such as fuels from carbon dioxide and urea, as well as the emergence of new quantum modes for applications in quantum computing. Her interdisciplinary research involves synthetic materials chemistry, molecular surface chemistry, and a broad range of analytical techniques, depending on the project. This can include electrochemistry, catalysis, self-assembly techniques, and computational methods like multiphysics simulations and ab initio calculations.
