Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAda Sedova is an R&D Staff scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with eight years of post-PhD experience at the intersection of computational chemistry, molecular biophysics, and high-performance scientific computing. She combines deep expertise in structural biology, molecular simulation, and analytical electrochemistry to drive computational and experimental studies of biomolecules, often leveraging national-scale HPC resources. Her background spans academic and applied roles—from developing nucleic acid biosensors and CFD transport models to neutron vibrational spectroscopy and RNA folding kinetics—giving her a rare blend of theory, computation, and hands-on lab insight. Based in Oak Ridge, she maintains active collaborations across computational chemistry and nanomaterials groups, and brings formal training in mathematics and biomedical sciences to complex, multidisciplinary problems. An uncommon asset is her earlier clinical training as an LPN, which enriches her practical perspective on translating molecular-level findings toward real-world biological and technological applications.
