BIOGRAPHY

M.S., Physics (1996)
Ivanovo State University, Ivanovo, Russia
Ph.D., Physical & Mathematical Sciences (1999)
Ivanovo State University, Ivanovo, Russia

Dr. Barannikova specializes in High Energy Nuclear Physics. She majored in theoretical physics and applied computing for high-energy physics, working towards her Ph.D. at the Laboratory for High Energy Physics at Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia). After receiving her Ph.D. from Ivanovo State University in 1999, she started post-doctoral appointment at Purdue University, studying possible formation and properties of quark-gluon plasma at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory.
In 2001 she was appointed research scientist at Purdue University. Professor Barannikova has ongoing projects in experimental study of nuclear matter under extreme conditions, particle production mechanisms and hadro-chemistry. Her recent publication include "Identified particle distributions in pp and Au+Au collisions at=200 GeV" (Physical Review Letters, 92, 2004) and "Rapidity and Centrality Dependence of Proton and Anti-proton Production from Au+Au Collisions at =130 GeV" (Physical Review C, 70, 2004). Professor Barannikova will have continuing responsibilities for the Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC (STAR) experiment at RHIC in her capacity of a Spectra Working Group Convenor.
