Marina Petrukhina

Marina Petrukhina (born March 15, 1963) is a Russian chemist who is the Carla Rizzo Delray Professor of Chemistry at the University at Albany. Her research investigates organometallic and coordination chemistry in curved molecular systems. She was elected Fellow of the American Chemical Society in 2023.

Petrukhina studied chemistry at Moscow State University.^[1] She remained in Moscow for her doctoral research, where she specialized in inorganic chemistry.^[1] She then moved to the United States, where she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Texas A&M University.

Petrukhina works on transition metal clusters, supramolecular and materials chemistry.^[2] In 2001, she joined the University at Albany, SUNY, where she was awarded an National Science Foundation CAREER Award.^[3]
