Dr. Grigorieva’s Bio

Ellina Grigorieva was born and raised in Moscow, Russia. From the age of two, her family members noted that she could sing a melody accurately and beautifully, even before she could clearly talk. As a young girl, Ellina trained professionally as a musician and attended music school, where she studied violin and piano for seven years. During college, she sang soprano and traveled all over the world with the Moscow State University Academic Choir. It was during one of these trips that Ellina witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent reunification of Germany.

After winning a math Olympiad, Ellina was admitted to Lomonosov Moscow State University without exams. She graduated with summa cum laude honors and a gold medal, and went on to earn her Ph.D. in physical and mathematical sciences.

Today, Ellina still loves singing and playing classical and modern pop music. Her weekends are busy, and she can often be found working on a new scientific research paper, attending the Dallas Symphony, viewing an opera, or shopping with her daughter Sasha.
