Scientific profile
Dr. Olesia Havryliuk obtained her MSc. Biotechnology and Bioengineering degree at the National Aviation University (2018, Kyiv, Ukraine). She completed her Ph.D. (Biology) in 2022 at the Department of Biology of Extremophilic Microorganisms, D.K. Zabolotny Institute of Microbiology and Virology National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) with an academic scholarship for Ph.D. students provided by the Ukrainian government. Her research has focused on the mechanisms of copper resistance in bacteria and the management of copper-resistant strains. During her PhD studies, she was actively involved in research groups focused on the implementation of national and international projects, including grants from CRDF Global (Civilian Research and Development Foundation, USA) related to heavy metal detoxification by extremophilic bacteria and the development of methods for food waste degradation using hydrogen-producing microbial communities of Clostridium and Bacillus. She also completed a 10-month internship at the University of Prešov in Prešov (Department of Ecology, Faculty of Humanities and Natural Sciences, Slovak Republic) within the framework of the Visegrad Scholarship Program (2020-2021). After completing her PhD, she received several travel grants from the Federation of European Microbiological Societies, including the FEMS Research and Training Grant, which she carried out at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC-BarcelonaTech, Spain, 2023). After her FEMS internships, Olesia received a temporary contract as a visiting researcher in the Chemical Engineering Department of UPC-BarcelonaTech, which is set to continue until the end of 2024. Currently, her research at UPC is focused on the investigation of innovative nanomaterials for the targeted eradication of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens.
