Anna Igorevna Krylov (Russian: Анна Игоревна Крылова) is the USC Associates Chair in Natural Sciences and Professor of Chemistry at the University of Southern California (USC). Working in the field of theoretical and computational quantum chemistry, she is the inventor of the spin-flip method.[1] Krylov is the president of Q-Chem, Inc.[2] and an elected member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science, the Academia Europaea, and the American Academy of Sciences and Letters.
Life and education

Career
Upon completing her Ph.D. in 1996, Krylov joined the group of Prof.
Research
Professor Krylov leads the iOpenShell lab,
Using the tools of computational chemistry, and in collaboration with numerous experimental laboratories, Krylov also investigates the role that radicals and electronically excited species play in such diverse areas as combustion, gas- and condensed-phase chemistry, astrochemistry, solar energy, quantum information storage, bioimaging, and light-induced biological processes. She has authored over 300 publications and has delivered more than 300 invited lectures, including the 2012 Löwdin Lecture at Uppsala University Sweden, the 2013 Coulson Lecture at the University of Georgia,[9] the 2018 Davison Lecture at the University of North Texas, and the 2023 Hans Hellmann Lecture at the Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany.
Science education and outreach
Krylov has developed educational materials (computational labs and tutorials[10][11]) aiming to increase quantum chemistry literacy among chemists. She has also developed films to help popularize science. The two iOpenShell films, Shine a Light[12] and Laser,[13] have been viewed more than 66,000 times on YouTube since September 2009. In 2015, Krylov delivered a public lecture in the Telluride Science Research Center Town Talk series entitled “Molecules and Light: The Story of Life, Death, and our Quest for Knowledge”.
Awards
Krylov has received worldwide recognition, in particular for her invention of the spin-flip method. "innovative work developing high accuracy electronic structure theory to inspire interpretation of spectroscopy of radicals, excited states, and ionization resonances in small molecules, biomolecules, and condensed phase solutes."[16] In 2022, she received the USC Associates Award for Creativity in Research and Scholarship,[17] the highest scholarly award granted by the University.[18] That same year, she received the inaugural Communicator of the Year Award, Science and Mathematics, from the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences. The award recognized her efforts to inform the scientific community and the general public through writings and speaking engagements of "the growing influence of politics and moral trends within STEM fields."[19] In 2023, Krylov was inducted into the American Academy of Sciences and Letters and awarded the academy's inaugural Barry Prize for Distinguished Intellectual Achievement
Krylov is a fellow of the American Physical Society,[16] the American Chemical Society,[20] the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[21]
Professional merit
Krylov has served on the editorial boards of numerous peer-review journals, including
Krylov has organized numerous symposia and is a board member of
In addition to her permanent appointment at USC, Krylov has served as a visiting professor at Caltech, University of Minnesota (Minneapolis), University of Colorado (JILA), Heidelberg University, University of Mainz, University of Groningen, the Donostia International Physics Center, and the Center of Ultrafast Imaging at DESY in Hamburg.
Activism
Krylov is active in the promotion of gender equality in STEM fields, especially in theoretical chemistry.[29][30] She created and maintains the web directory Women in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, Material Science, and Biochemistry,[31] which currently lists more than 400 scientists holding tenure and tenure track academic positions, or equivalent positions in industry, national laboratories, and other leading research establishments. She has delivered several talks on gender equality in STEM including a lecture at the international symposium in Uppsala, Sweden.[32]
Krylov is an outspoken advocate of freedom of speech and academic freedom. She is a founding member of the Academic Freedom Alliance and a member of its academic leadership committee. Her paper, "The Peril of Politicizing Science,"[33] which "launched a national conversation among scientists and the general public"[19] on the growing influence of political ideology over STEM, has received over 100,000 views and, according to Altmetric, was the all-time highest-ranked article in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.[34] Her works have been translated into Polish,[35][36][37][38] Estonian,[39] French,[40][41][42] and Russian.[43][44]
Personal life
Krylov lives in Southern California and enjoys outdoor sports, especially hiking and rock climbing. [citation needed]
