Olga I. Vinogradova obtained her Diploma (1985) and Ph.D. (1989) degrees from the National University of Science and Technology MISIS. She then joined the group of Prof. Boris V. Derjaguin at the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Modified Surfaces, part of the A.N. Frumkin Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry (Russian Academy of Sciences) as a research fellow. Since 1992 she directs this Laboratory. In 2000 she got her D.Sci. (Habilitation) degree in Physics and Mathematics from the A.N. Frumkin Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry. The same year she was offered an Associate Professor position at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (C3-Stelle der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft), where she headed the independent research group "Colloid and Interface Science". Since 2009 she joined the Physics Department of the M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University as a full professor, where she is currently organizing the new Laboratory of Micro- and Nanofluidics. Olga published ~100 papers in international journals (involving Phys. Rev. Lett., Phys. Rev. E, J. Fluid Mech., J. Chem. Phys., Langmuir, Macromolecules, etc) which have been cited ~3500 times for a h-index ~40. Her Erdös number is 4. In 2012 she has been elected to Academia Europaea.

Olga's research is concerned with the application of physical and mathematical methods to problems arising at the the interface between soft condensed matter, fluid and solid mechanics, and nanoscience. She combines theory, simulations and experiments, the goal being to iterate between the three until consistent physical pictures and mathematical models emerge.
