Biography
Dr. Nataliya Markina joined the University of Houston-Clear Lake faculty in 2019 as
a visiting assistant professor of chemistry. In the fall of 2021, she became a lecturer
of chemistry. She received a B.S./M.S. in Chemistry from Higher Chemical College of
Russian Academy of Sciences in 2008 and a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Iowa State
University in 2012. Her research is focused on developing novel synthetic methodologies
for the synthesis of small heterocyclic molecules and applying the developed methods
to the synthesis of combinatorial libraries. Dr. Markina is one of the co-authors
of the third edition of the chemistry reference Comprehensive Organic Transformations
(edited by R. C. Larock), published in 2018.
