Biography

Dshemuchadse Group Website

Dr. Julia Dshemuchadse received her Diploma degree in physics from TU Dresden, Germany, and her Ph.D. in materials science from ETH Zurich, Switzerland, where she conducted crystallographic studies of complex intermetallic compounds. As a postdoctoral researcher, Dr. Dshemuchadse moved to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, funded by a fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation, and performed computational research of soft matter self-assembly behavior. Dr. Dshemuchadse joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University as an assistant professor in 2019. Her group studies abstract model systems to reveal the fundamental principles of crystal structure formation and stability, by combining methods and approaches from hard and soft condensed matter research.

Dr. Dshemuchadse co-authored a book entitled “Intermetallics – Structures, Properties, and Statistics”, published in 2016 by Oxford University Press. She was awarded an NSF CAREER Award in 2021, as well as a Machine Learning in the Chemical Sciences and Engineering Award by the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation and a Doctoral New Investigator Grant by the American Chemical Society’s Petroleum Research Fund in 2022.

Besides growing crystals (in the computer), analyzing structures, and determining symmetries, Julia loves to read and travel, and enjoys exploring the outdoors—biking, hiking, and camping.
