Elena P. Ivanova

Elena P. Ivanova is a nanobiotechnologist/biophysicist, academic, and author. She is a Distinguished Professor at RMIT University, Australia. She is most known for her research on biomaterials and bioengineering, focusing on biomimetics antimicrobial nanostructured surfaces.

Ivanova has authored/co-authored over five books, including ''New Functional Biomaterials for Medicine and Healthcare,'' ''Antibacterial surfaces,'' and ''Superhydrophobic surfaces.'' Her research is primarily focused on design, fabrication and operation of planar micro-devices, with particular emphasis on bacterial taxonomy, biomaterials, immobilization of bio-molecules and micro-organisms in micro/nano/environments, microbial interactions with macro/micro/nano-structured surfaces, and mechano-bactericidal biomimetic nanostructured surfaces.

Ivanova is a Fellow of the Australian Society for Microbiology, Life member of Bergey's International Society for Microbial Systematics (BISMiS), and is associated with several organizations, including the American Society for Microbiology, the American Chemical Society, and Royal Society of Victoria.
