Nina Kovalchuk

Research Fellow

Nina Kovalchuk is a research fellow in the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Birmingham. She got her PhD in material science in 1996. Nina worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Biocolloid Chemistry, Ukraine, the Max-Planck Institute of Colloids and Surfaces, Germany, and the Loughborough University. Her research interests are in the areas of adsorption dynamics and the effect of surfactants on multiphase flows: surfactant enhanced spreading and superspreading, formation and coalescence of drops on the macroscale and in microfluidic devices, instabilities due to surfactant transfer, the stability and dynamics of foams and emulsions.
