Olga I. Vinogradova obtained her Diploma (1985) and Ph.D. (1989) degrees from the National University of Science and Technology MISIS (former the Moscow Steel and Alloys Institute). 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. From 1996 to 2003 she was appointed as an adjunct Associate Professor at the University of South Australia. From 1998 to 2000 she has been visiting the University of Mainz as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. 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". Olga spent several extended visits as an invited professor at the Australian National University (Prof. Barry W. Ninham), Ecole Superieure de Physique et Chemie Industrielle (Dr. Francois Feuillebois and Prof. Patrick Tabeling), University of South Australia (Prof. Roger G. Horn), and University of Lyon (Prof. Lyderic Bocquet). 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. Chem. Phys., Langmuir, Macromolecules, J. Fluid. Mech. etc) which have been cited ~4500 times for a h-index ~40. In 2012 she has been elected to Academia Europaea.
