Biography

Ludmilla is Associate Professor of Inorganic ÀË»¨Ö±²¥ and the Goodenough Tutorial Fellow at St Catherine’s College, University of Oxford. She obtained her PhD in the group of Professor Michael Grätzel at EPFL, Switzerland, where she worked on oxide thin-film photoelectrodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting and perovskite solar cells.

She then pursued postdoctoral research as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow in the group of Professor James Durrant at Imperial College London, investigating photochemical and photophysical processes in semiconductors using time-resolved spectroscopy. Following this, she held an Imperial College Research Fellowship, which enabled her to establish her independent research career. At Oxford, her group focuses on the design and study of atomically defined photo- and electrocatalysts for the conversion of small molecules such as CO₂ into energy-rich fuels and chemicals, linking defect chemistry to activity and selectivity.
