Elena Polyakova

Dr. Polyakova serves as Chief Operating Officer at Graphene 3D Lab. As CEO at Graphene Labs, she spent her time ensuring that both technical and business staffs work at full capacity without the development of silos. Graphene – a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice – is a material with remarkable properties, including a high-conductivity, superior strength to any material ever isolated, flexibility, and chemical resistivity. It has become known the world-over as the wonder material, and it is quickly moving from research laboratories to industrial applications. Dr. Polyakova’s team has developed technology to produce graphene nanocomposites and other advanced materials to be used in 3D printing, with the potential to bring 3D printing to the next stage of commercial development.
