Elena N. Golubeva

leading researcher, PhD in Chemistry

Elena. N. Golubeva was born in 1962, 20 February. Elena. N. Golubeva entered Chemical Department of Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1979, and graduated from it in 1984 after defending the diploma work "Kinetics and mechanism of beta-chlorostyrene chlorination". Since 1982 she works in the chair of chemical kinetics of the Chemistry department of Lomonosov Moscow State University. In 1991 she defended candidate thesis "Kinetics and mechanism of processes in the systems allylhalide - iron (III) chloride - organic solvent" (with Tatiana N. Rostovshchikova as scientific advisor). E. N. Golubeva is the co-author of 35 articles in the scientific journals, 5 certificates of authorship of the USSR and two Russian federation patents. Under her management 6 diploma works and one candidate thesis were defended. E. N. Golubeva is the member of the organization committee of the international conference "Atmosphere, ionosphere, safety" (2008, 2010, 2012).
