Anastassia N. Alexandrova is a researcher at UCLA with expertise in heterogeneous catalysis, electric fields in enzymes, quantum information science (QIS), qubits, and quantum materials. Her work explores the role of metal clusters and their electronic structures in catalytic processes, including the impact of alkali metal cations and surface hydroxyls on alkaline hydrogen evolution. She also investigates the electronic structure and bonding in boron clusters, employing ab initio methods and photoelectron spectroscopy. Alexandrova's research includes the development of computational models for catalytic systems and the study of metalloenzymes. Her work emphasizes the interplay between structure, bonding, and reactivity in complex chemical environments.
