Doctor of Chemical Sciences Zukhra Chingizovna Kadirova graduated from the Chemical Faculty of Tashkent State University (1992) and defended her PhD thesis. (1999) in inorganic chemistry at the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the field of coordination chemistry. In 2003-2004, she was a research intern at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and continued her research in the field of creating materials for environmental protection. She received a JSPS-RONPAKU Scholarship and a PhD in Engineering from the Tokyo Institute of Technology (2014) under the supervision of Professor Kyoshi Okada in the field of obtaining ecological functional materials based on activated carbon and studying their adsorption and photodegradation properties.

Working as an associate professor at the Tashkent Institute of Chemical Technology and the National University of Uzbekistan, she became Deputy Director for research and cooperation with companies and enterprises at the Uzbek-Japanese Youth Innovation Center (2017). She was awarded the Scopus Award as one of the best researchers in the field of engineering and technology research in Uzbekistan (2018), defended her PhD thesis (2020) at the National University of Uzbekistan in inorganic and physical chemistry in the field of sorption and photocatalytic materials based on metal oxides and metal complexes of organic acids and derivatives of N-heterocyclic ligands.

Currently, her field of research is coordination chemistry, photocatalysis and modern oxidation technologies, water purification, recycling and obtaining new materials from waste.
