Meet Professor Natalia Shustova

Professor Natalia Shustova from University of South Carolina joined the Editorial Board of Materials Chemistry Frontiers as Associate Editor. Her current research interests are graphitic hybrid materials for sustainable energy conversion, sensors, switches, and artificial biomimetic systems.

Natalia Shustova

Natalia Shustova received her M.S. degree in Materials Science in 2004 from Moscow State University (MSU), Russia, and two Ph.D. degrees, the first in Physical Chemistry in 2005 from MSU and the second in Inorganic Chemistry in 2010 from Colorado State University. She then did postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2013 she joined the faculty at the University of South Carolina as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry. She is the recipient of an NSF CAREER Award, MIT Infinite Kilometer Postdoctoral Award, an MIT/Bruker Symposium Award, a German Academic Exchange (DAAD) Graduate Research Scholarship, an Electrochemical Society Herbert H. Uhlig Summer Fellowship, and a Humboldt University (Berlin) L. Euler Student Fellowship.
