Kristina Rusimova

University of Bath, UK

Dr. Kristina Rusimova received an MSci in Physics with Nanotechnology from the University of Birmingham (UK) in 2012, followed by a PhD in atomic manipulation with the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) from the University of Bath (UK) in 2016. Following a short postdoctoral position in photonics, she joined the Department of Physics at the University of Bath as an independent Prize Fellow in 2018 and as a tenured Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in 2021. In 2022 she was part of the team awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Faraday Division Horizon Prize for the discovery of chiroptical harmonic scattering. Her work is now focused on looking for new understanding of the nanoscale physical processes that underpin light emission and single molecule reactions induced by the tip of an STM.
