Olga Ridzel (IntlAssoc)

A research scientist experienced in the field of surface science, scientific development, image processing and data analysis.

Graduated from Moscow Power Engineering Institute in 2015 with a master’s degree in the field of Nanotechnology in Power Engineering. From 2012 up to 2017 worked as a researcher in the scientific group “Interaction of charged particles with solid surface” performing the analysis of electron energy loss spectra.

In 2017 joined the SIMDALEE2 (Sources, Interaction with Matter, Detection and Analysis of Low Energy Electrons) project within the FP7 People: Marie-Curie Actions Initial Training Network (ITN) as an early-stage researcher at the Technical University of Vienna (TUV). The conducted research was focused on the Monte Carlo simulation of secondary electron emission processes in solids for the determination for the electron inelastic mean free path at low energies (below 100 eV). In 2019 defended the PhD thesis “Interaction of slow electrons with matter for nanoscale characterisation of solids” in the TUV.

From 2019 up to 2022 worked as a research scientist at Schlumberger Moscow Research (SMR). The role included many diverse tasks ranging from software development to the processing of Xray micro-computing tomographic images such as image enhancement, transformation and binarization needed for building digital rock models for further simulation of transport properties for the sample being investigated.
