Marina Ivanovna Kozhukhova earned her bachelor’s degree from Belgorod State Technological University named after V.G. Shukhov (BSTU) Belgorod, Russia. She joined the university’s Department of Construction Materials and Products as a research assistant, conducting research on polymer structure modification using micro- and nanoparticles.

She completed BSTU’s MSc Program, focusing on the influence of inorganic nanostructured microfillers on structurization of thermosets. Kozhukhova then started research in the field of geopolymers on the base of natural raw materials before joining UWM as a Visiting Researcher in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering.
