Dr Tatiana Novikova received her PhD in Physics and Mathematics from the Institute of Mathematical Modelling, Moscow (Russia) and Habilitation in Optics from University Paris-Sud, Orsay (France). Since 2002 she is a research scientist at the group of Applied Optics and Polarimetry in the Laboratory of Physics of Interfaces and Thin Films in Ecole polytechnique, Palaiseau (France). Her research activities focus on physics of polarized light, interaction of electromagnetic waves with matter, biomedical engineering and computational physics for the development of new optical techniques for non-invasive diagnostics, target detection in turbid media, metrological applications of polarimetry. Dr Novikova served as a Guest Editor for the Special Section of Journal of Biomedical Optics "Polarized Light for Biomedical Applications" (July 2016). She was a Chairman of Program Committee of 1st European workshop "Biophotonics and Optical Angular Momentum". Dr Novikova is SPIE and OSA member, author of more than 50 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals and proceedings of international conferences; over 60 presentations at international conferences, symposia and workshops, including 9 invited talks.
