Maria Kamenetska, PhD

Masha Kamenetska  is an Associate Professor of Chemistry and Physics in the College of Arts & Sciences. Kamenetska is a quantum chemical physicist specializing in single-molecule experiments that explore the relationships between molecular structure and function. Her research bridges chemistry, physics, and biology and seeks to advance understanding of electrical properties of molecular circuits, the structural stability of RNA gene regulatory segments, and optical signatures of nanoparticle antennas for single-molecule detection. She is a past recipient of an NSF CAREER award, an Air Force Young Investigator Research Program award, and a Scialog Fellowship, and has published 22 articles in high-impact scientific journals, including NatureNanotechnology and Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. She developed and currently oversees the chemistry and physics undergraduate major at BU.
