Dr. Surmeneva graduated from Tomsk Polytechnic University (2007) with the master's thesis in physics devoted to fabrication and characterization of silicon-containing hydroxyapatite coatings. She has defended her PhD thesis in Physics on RF-magnetron sputter deposited silicon-containing hydroxyapatite coatings in 2012. The main research skills of Dr. Surmeneva are as follows: synthesis and functionalization of inorganic nanocomposites for regenerative medicine; plasma-assisted magnetron sputtering; study of bioceramics with solid-state physical and chemical methods. She has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers with high impact-journals, 3 patents, 4 book chapters, 2 review on RF magnetron sputter deposition of hydroxyapatite-based coatings.
